I think the usefulness of this lens (the coming Samyang, not the speculated Nikon of course <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />) over Tokina 11-16 seems debatable to me. No AF, no filters and no zoom, however limited.[/quote]
There's also the Sigma 10-20/3.5 to consider. Zoom range is larger than the Tokina and manages to equal the Samyang at the wide end. Price is a bit lower than the Tokina, mainly due to slightly slower maximum aperture. Only catch - it's a Sigma. There's always the risk of it not working on your next body. This is not usually an issue with Tokina (and Tamron for that matter). Not sure why.
