Scubabear 0 Posted December 31, 2011 I presently have a Nikon AF-S 12-24mm f/4.0 G IF-ED DX Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens I m presently upgrading my gear with new lens dooms from Ikelite. My question is... should I stick with the 12-24 lens or "upgrade" to the 10-17 Tonika fisheye lens more info I will be shooting it with a D7000Nikon and hopefully shooting some video......in Truk and Palau for starters. Is the 12-24 "good enough" or should I just pull the trigger and buy a 10-17 + extra rings from Ike. Also I have a Scottish back ground so the cheapest solution is the best.. any thoughts Thanks Terry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyBarker 6 Posted December 31, 2011 Hi, I have both but I don't use the 12/24 Nikon as much now but it is a very good lens. I would buy the 10/17FE so you have Both, they will give you different types of results, Regards, Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdpriest 115 Posted December 31, 2011 I've pretty much stopped using my 12-24mm underwater... ... but I use a fixed focal length 10.5mm more than my Tokina 10-17mm zoom, so what do I know? Getting the right dome for the 12-24mm has always been difficult: most people find that they have better sharpness at the edges with other lenses, as well as sharper images from having to get closer to their subjects. I really only get enthusiastic about my 12-24mm for sharks, these days. Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john70490 3 Posted January 1, 2012 I only have experience of the Tokina 10-17mm, which is a great lens, but wonder if those of you who have used the Nikon 12-24mm have also tried the 10-24mm. I have the impression from reports on the web that it has better optics. Any comments on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
