Tokina Lenses for Nikon
Note: The following table applies to the current Tokina line as of 11/17/2007 (some older lenses are shown at end of table). The AT-X lenses are well made, though I find their color rendition "cold." I've also had problems with flare with Tokina lenses (and yes, even recent ones). Tokina's Web site.
