always nice to have a quick buyer. still loving the bahama pic(s)

Thanks Baan. The tokina is a very solid performer. It has served me very well on that trip . Who knows this might be the start of me moving to the dark side

tokina for nikon? :P

Never know! I just might! I mean it would be a wide prime on FF (which to me is perfectly fine as i rarely if ever zoom. Isnt the purpose of a uwa to shoot wide? Just walk a bit forward or frame differently). So odds are i will pick it up on that side as well if i go there.

MOKO! someone already stole your idea :P

what's pulling you in??

i have to admit, nikon has nice contrast. of the pics that i've seen, the blacks and reds look better.

Well so much for that. Tokina is sold.

Lol. Yeah I'm glad I didn't buy the Mki. I'll pick up the II when it's out.

Gosh darnit. And I thought I had an original idea.

Still, mine would have been in front of a muslin background, with lighting and whatnot. The lady would be wearing a flowing dress with her hair done. That photo looks more like a random shot with some lady at the beach.

Iso performance and focus system (in the FF market im looking at). Nikon just gets it done. Canon is starting to catch up to it. In the lens department nikon is catching up to canon in filling in the holes and updating old lenses. 135 and 70-200's is where canon holds a nice advantage. However, i would own the 70-200 2.8 and nikon has a solid one. This is all subjective

The way it is looking i wouldnt be surprised if the new one comes in around 800-900. So a used Mki at around 500 is a great deal

You hit it right on the money on what i was looking at

You referring to the Tok 11-16? Apparently it's just got new coatings and a different AF motor. It really shouldn't cost much more--no major advancements. The optical formula apparently remains the same.

You guys weren't looking at the model's asset... the camera?

We shall see but it wouldnt shock me at 800 for this lens. Suggested retail YEN is 90,000 or $1161 knock off around 200 - 300 from that and you land around my suggestion.
