Thanks, Roman. I hope I'll visit some more of your beautiful mountains this summer.
By the way, after this trip I got an idea to do the same thing you did - sell the Tokina 12-24 and get some manual lenses instead. Lugging a DSLR on hiking trips can be quite clumsy so a smaller lens like Zuiko 28/3.5 or CZ D28/2.8 would make it more portable. Only drawback to that is having to do more panorama and stitching work (but that should also give better IQ). What was your primary reason for replacing the Tokina with Nikkor 24 and 35?

Toni, the last image strikes me as a beautiful image indeed. Exposure,
color, contrast - all good. Scenery - magnificent.
Extremely nice shots.

well I don't know, I asked that myself couple of times (my tokina was extremely sharp even wide open) I just didn't/don't need AF anymore and even though 12mm is wide it's not THAT wide so I rather take some 8-10 photos and stitch them together, having a 40-80mp photo and you get even wider and it's more fun... 12mm is great for indoors or/and in tight spaces but for landscape photography I prefer a "normal" wide lens, and if you want to go wider you just stitch...
...and I just wanted a Nikkor 24/2.8 |

Very nice series and a great and beautiful location.
Have thought in the same way with stitching etc... But sometimes you have not enough time for stitching and pano shots. Was looking a longer time for a MF lens below 20mm for my K-5 and now I bought few days ago the SIGMA 8-16 AF zoom lens.
So far I have seen surprisingly sharp from corner to corner. It is the little brother of the well known SIGMA 12-24mm.
Will take today some images on a motor show with this lens.

In the same way I want a Distagon 28/2.8 which I assume will be my main reason for selling the Tokina.

Make sure to think twice about it. The Distagon surely is a great lens, but you cannot stitch in every situation. Sometime a wide angel below 20mm is just fantastic!
