Finally.....Tokina 11-16 lens!
After over a month of trying to decide between the Tokina 12-24 and the new Tokina 11-16 (and even the Canon 10-22), I made a final decision! Some of you may have seen my post in the Help forum Monday. I purchased the 11-16 last week and the first time I took it out I didn't get one good shot - a few were okay, but most were extremely over-exposed. I was almost ready to send it back, but after many suggestions, I checked the connections, changed a few settings and tried it out again yesterday and am quite pleased. I think I must have accidently set something on my camera that caused the problem. These were shot in aperture priority.
Let me just add that it was a tough decision as the Tokina 12-24 is tack sharp, too. However my decision was based on the constant f/2.8 and the extra 1mm.
Straight out of camera, no post processing. Honest opinions please!

Glad you finally got the lens figured out Liz. These look pretty good.

Tack sharp. Beautiful exposure.
Re: Finally.....Tokina 11-16 lens!
I hope this lens gives you hours and hours of pleasure and we get to share in seeing the results.
Re: Finally.....Tokina 11-16 lens!
Looking good to me. Glad you got it figured out.
I'm having a psychic moment and think John's going to ask you to do a review.
Re: Finally.....Tokina 11-16 lens!
Thanks Mike, Don and OT!
It's very close to the Tokina 12-24 except for the 2.8 and the 1mm gives you a bit more width.

That's my job :D
Re: Finally.....Tokina 11-16 lens!
These look good, Liz. sharp and contrasty, similiar to the quality you showed us from the 12- 24mm.
I can't wait to read your review . . .
Re: Finally.....Tokina 11-16 lens!
I've been following all of your posts about your lens adventures.
I'm so happy to see it is working beautifully for you!

I'd like to see some high-res images and some more variety. Also, what do you think of the image quality compared to the Tokina 12-24 and the Canon 10-22mm lenses?

John,
I uploaded a few images - either 4 or 5 I forgot. They were uploading for about 25 minutes. Now I can't find them. They aren't in my gallery.
I'll be out for a little while - and check back when I return home.

As John suggested, I was able to upload some full res images in the gallery if anyone is interested. Comments welcome.

Thanks Gary, Frog and Jeta,
I appreciate your comments. Since I sold my heavier lenses last year and only have 2 lenses left, the Canon 28mm/f1.8 and 50mm/f1.8, getting a new zoom (however small 11-16) was a big deal - especially my first UWA. :D Using an ultra wide is a learning experience - at least for me.
