Believe me, I am a dyed-in-the-wool, "Take your choirboy Beatles and stick'em", eternal Stones fan, but Shine A Light just left me shrugging my shoulders and hoping the boys would vanish for a bit to make the next tour that much more thrilling.

Three stars only for the huge inconvenience I'm about to incur. I would very much like to see an update or comment from someone who's returned this keyboard, DUE TO THE BATTERY NOT HOLDING ITS CHARGE, and hear whether or not the replacement has had the same problem.

As long as this charger is around $40, it's a better buy than the "newer" BC-700. To quote a review here on Amazon for the BC-700 by NLee:

"Except for the color, the BC700 looks exactly the same as the better-known BC900. However, it is actually a "handicapped" version of the old charge

The only NON-nikkor lens I own
7/8/2008
Side by side it is equally as good as the Nikkor 12-24. Unfortunately, the Nikkor lens is more than twice the price. Do yourself a favor, get the Tokina and save your money for another lens or photo products.

Absolutely fantastic lens.
5/12/2008
I've had this lens for one year. Incredibly enough, it's more expensive NOW then it was a year ago. My Nikon lenses have plummeted in price in the past year.

It's a very comfortable lens and fairly lightweight. Nice big rubber zoom and focus rings although I would have preferred the zoom ring not to be next to the camera body.

Nice smooth zoom ring action; no loose play, grinding or resistance. Much, much better than the $1100 Nikon 18-55mm lens that I hated and returned.

Here's a wonderfully weird characteristic of this lens that I simply cannot figure out: It will focus and take a picture in a room with barely any light at all! My Nikon 50mm f1.4 lens can't even come close; the Nikon lens cannot focus even though it's several f-stops faster. You have to see it to believe it.

The only thing that the lens can't do (which is no big deal for such a wide angle lens) is the ability to manually focus after an auto-focus.

Want even better performance photographing outdoors? Turn the auto-focus off, set the aperture to about f11 and the distance between 7ft and infinity. Everything will be in focus.

Even though it's an inexpensive lens, don't cheap out and get a lousy filter. Pay the $50+ for a good multi-coated 77mm UV filter.

For landscapes or working in tight areas or crowds, you simply can't beat this lens.

If Nikon put their logo on it and charged $1200, people would rave that it's such a great lens.

tokina 12-24 f4
3/20/2008
i did a lot of research on super wide angle lenses and the consensus seems to be that this tokina is comparable in quality to the nikon 12-24, but for almost half the price. i bought this lens just before a short trip to austria and italy. the results were spectacular. the lens is sharp and contrasty, and did well in a variety of conditions. i was able to get sharp images of the architecture in venice AT NIGHT without a tripod. (at f4 and iso 1600). sure it would have been easier with a tripod, but i was travelling light. highly recommended.

Great lens
2/8/2008
The Tokina is an awesome lens. I'm not able to compare it to the Nikkor, but for what I use it for, it gets the job done very well. It's an awesome lens, and on my D50, you can really capture such a wide scene. It also focuses a lot closer than any of my other lenses.

I would certainly recommend this to a friend.
