Wow, I guess this will be the first serious review of this lens on Nikon. Thanks for the samples Markus, I'm looking forward to read the review...
OTOH, I already ordered the Nikon 16-35mm instead of this one (because of my concerns about the Tokina QC). I somehow felt a relief because the long search for a UWA zoom was ended finally... BUT, today the friend I ordered the lens travelling in NY called me telling that 16-35mm is out of stock (both B&H and Adorama), and that the dealer offered him this Tokina instead of the Nikon <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I told him to skip Tokina because the test samples compared [url="http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=778&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=689&CameraComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=0"]here[/url] was like go-for-the-Nikon... I think I'm somehow cursed when it comes to the UWAs.
