I am not a professional, just a hobby photographer. I do take thousands of pictures a year with my Nikons. I have rented the Nikon 14-28 many times for vacations, but it's just too pricey for me to justify purchase. Enter the Tokina. I watched some YouTube reviews and checked out sample photos, seemed like it was worth a try.
This is my first non-Nikkor lens and I am pleasently surprised by the quality. To be frank, I was expecting less.
I love this lens its much smaller and lighter than the the Nikon. I shoot mostly with a Nikon D7200 operating out of the hard bags on my motorcycle. So far the lens travels well, no issues.
Pros: Image sharpness is stunning. No color aberration that I could detect at any stop or zoom. Smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the big Nikon. Low light performance is good.
Cons: More prone to lens flare than the Nikon, the hood is smaller, aggravating the flare issue. When under flare conditions or shooting into direct sunlight, the auto-focus may be tricky. More distortion toward the edges than the Nikon, but this lens is wider. At the time of writing Adobe Lightroom (my tool of choice) doesn't have the Lens Correction filter for this Tokina yet, but does for the Nikon, so may not be a fair comparison.
Pros here FAR outweigh the cons, in my opinion. I've used both, I've lugged that big Nikon all over the country, and am glad to have this lighter cousin in my kit. I would buy this lens again in a heartbeat.
I have attached some photos I've taken with this lens. All samples have been post processed with Lightroom, but it will give you get the idea of the cameras capabilities and sharpness.

Stunning sharpness. A great compact, light, and more affordable alternative to the massive Nikon wide angle.
