I am using this lens with a Nikon D3200. I shoot landscapes mostly.
Firstly, if you have a DX camera (D3200, D3100, D5000, D5100, D7100, etc), this is the lens to have for wide angle. Trust me. I did a lot of research on the Sigmas, Tamrons, and others. I found this to be the best for the money and the fastest. Its also semi-compatible with full frame DSLRs. I needed a lens to replace the amazing 18-55mm Kit lens and this has passed the test for sure!
Sharpness:
This lens is sharp! I don't know how anyone could complain about sharpness. Even at f2.8 its sharp! I mostly shoot landscapes from F/8 - F/18.
This lens is mad sharp at all apertures.
Angle of View:
Honestly, at first, I thought the angle of view would be even wider than it is at 11mm. But I guess I was just being irrational. 11mm is wide on this lens. Pretty much all you need for landscapes. The distortion isn't horrible and can be corrected in Lightroom.
Bokeh:
Bokeh isn't all that flawless on this lens. I'm talking at f2.8... It seems sorta all over the place. But it's not distracting or anything.
Chromatic Aberration:
One issue with shooting landscapes on my kit lens was that my shots often have trees in the white sky, this causes chromatic abberation from the contrast in dark trees against the bright sky. This lens seems to have none of that at tighter apertures. My photos look a lot more professional without the purple hue around the trees... P.S. Chromatic aberration is not always fully correctable in post.
Focus Ring:
Not digging the focus ring too much. When shooting landscapes, I autofocus on my focal point and then I set the lens to manual focus to shoot. Well, when pulling back on the focus ring to enter manual, I feel like it would be easy to accidentally put your camera out of focus.
Focusing Motor:
The DXII (this model) has an internal focus motor. Make note of that if you do not have a D7000+... The focus motor is slow, as expected from a third party lens. The sound it makes when focusing is poor. Its not incredibly loud, but the sound is.. crappy.
Focusing:
Ok. Next to weight, this is probably the biggest flaw of the lens. I shoot a lot of sunscape photos in low light conditions. this lens has a hard time finding focus in low light. Much harder than other lenses I have. And it will certainly aggravate you. It's not a deal breaker but I find that this is one of the worst issues with the lens.
Lens Cap:
I have had this camera for 2 days already and I want to burn the lens cap in a fire... Its not the fit though. It fits nicely. Way better than my sigma 70-300 lens cap. The problem is that the cap has little to no depth for your fingers on the squeeze buttons, so the cap likes to shoot out of your hand like a rocket when placing it on the lens.
Weight:
This has to be the worst quality of this lens. It is heavy! Its comparable to my Sigma 70-300mm telephoto. I'm not sure why a wideangle has to be so heavy but it is. I can live with it!
Filters:
So far, I have stacked 2 Altura 77mm ND filters on this lens and have absolutely no vingetting. I think ill try for 3 filters ;)
Overall, couldn't be happier with my purchase. Its clear that Tokina cut corners on the mechanics a bit to compensate for the great optics. Thats expected with a lens of this make. BUY IT.

まずは何より「画角」。自分の見ている景色がまるごと画角に収まるのは感動モノです。
そして「F値」。薄暗い室内で手ブレしない程度までシャッタースピードを上げられるのが便利ですし、何より夜景や星景写真が綺麗に撮れます。
このレンズがこの価格だと考えるとかなりお買い得だと思いました。
一応短所を挙げるとすれば、AFがうるさくて遅いことでしょうか。動画を撮りたり方などは、気を付けたほうがいいかもです。まあ景色を撮るのに爆速AFは必要ないですし、星を撮るときはMFですから、私にとっては短所ではないんですけど。
あとatx-i 11-16mm F2.8 CFと比べるとレンズのデザインがちょっと古臭いですかね？私のようなド素人には光学性能での不満点は感じられませんでした。
写真はド素人が撮ったものなので、参考程度にどうぞ。画角は11mmです。
