I used the v. 1 of the lens on a Nikon D90. I actually liked the lens more than I did the camera in the end. I'm not exactly giving away secrets in that the lens is one of those better between 11mm and 14mm than the longer end. It is quite a bulky lens especially in comparison to the Tamron. But to me everything seemed to be in its right place when using the lens, it just felt comfortable to me.
Tokina lenses are not up there with Sigma and Tamron let alone Canon with fast and almost silent AF but then again you an use 77mm filters on this lens. Think out your shots a little in advance and you will not have any problems.
Good manual focus with decently sized focus and zoom rings. I'm more into 24mm to 100mm myselt so this lens is a little wider than I was used to but I had no problems getting used to it.
