tokina vs nikon - halwalid - 03-26-2012
Ive got tokina 19-35 and would ike your opinion on it compared to nikon 24-120 f3.5 VR which I tend to buy, what do you think. I have done some research but still not convinced as I have found some review that says avoid this lens but have seen lots of very sharp photos <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> .
Alos I have been looking for lens hood (19-35) but have nopt found any in the UK, do you know if there is any alternative as flare is just killing me.

Not sure how one can compare a 24-120mm lens to a 24-120mm lens...
And when you close the Nikon down a lot, one can get passable results of course... Also web sized images look sharp very quickly.
As for the lens hood:

Or if you feel kinda blue-peter-ish:
