Actually might be very interested but it'll be at the start of march though

Yeah I'm not jealous either, criminally underated firm Tokina, the AT-X range are a bit special

And this one in particular is nothing short of amazing for the price.

It currently sits at the top of my "wanted" list, unless a Nikon 10-24 / 12-24 shows up at a very special price...

Mr Anderson I am going to have words with you

I currently have sat opposite me what is only to be described as a 5 year old in one hell of a tantrum sulk,

Mr Pie .. emailing me your "wanted" list doesnt mean that I am going to buy anything off it.... as far as I am concerned it can stay "wanted".. unless of course you wish to buy it for me and upgrade my camera to the D7000 whilst you are at it???

Not really, but if I do get an ultra-wide angle then there might be a 16-85 VR going your way...

I'm in no hurry to sell, so lets see if that offer warms a bit as summer apporaches.

I actually found out about this lens by our chance on Flickr. I was lusting after the (utterly massive, over priced 14-24 f/2.8 - which is [STRIKE]a little[/STRIKE] extreme overkill for a DX camera) when I stumbled across this lens. Some people say it blasts the Nikon version out of the water.

Ken's review of the Tokina was written before the Nikon 10-24 came out, so he was basing his opinion on that one, and taking into account the 12-24 is almost twice the price of the Tokina, which is both wider and faster.

With the 10-24, the wider advantage goes away, but it's still an f/2.8 vs. a variable aperture zoom that is still more expensive than the Tokina. That's why it's such a no-brainer, especially when it's such an optically brilliant lens!

Guess I'll have to keep saving for mine...

What are we talking price wise?
