Is anyone housing the Tokina 11-16mm? Ken Rockwell can't say enough good things about it for topside use but I notice most discussions here are about the 10-17. I understand the differences between fisheye and standard but have never owned a fisheye, unless you consider my Nikonos 15mm as such.

Tokina 11-16mm?

Played with this lens in Tonga, the majority of these underwater shots were taken with it: http://www.aquabluedreams.com/staticpages/pid/G/80 In general I like it, quick to focus, good low light performance, shot it on a D7000 behind an Aquatica 9.25 dome. Not sure it will replace my 10-17mm but if you can afford it....

Yes, I like it very much, particularly for wrecks and over-unders where I want to keep things looking straight.
For under only shots it will stand a +2, maybe even a +3 dioptre behind an 8" dome if closer focus is needed.
If I had the choice of only 11-16 or 10-17 then it would be the former.

i'm a rectilinear guy and i like the 11-16. i've tried to make sure it's positioned correctly in the dome and am happy with a +2
