Hi, I would say they are on par, the 10-20mm has a bit weak spot at 18-20mm (with 20mm in particular). I do not remember 18-55mm AF-P version of having a really much softer focal lenghts (compared to other focal lenghts of the same lens). I hope this helps. Vaclav

Dear Vaclav,
One of your conclusions is that the Tokina 11-16mm is overall a better performer. Looking to the examples, I cannot see this or confirm it. At 14mm the edge sharpness of Tokina lens is really bad, look at the f/ 5.6 example. At 18mm, with the 3 lenses next to each other, I think you enlarged it somewhat to match it, it is almost a double exposure at f/5.6 for the Tokina. (You mentioned it outer edge but it is a center crop).
Examples mixed up? Hope to hear from you. Tnx

good review! for info it works very well on d800 in 1.2x crop mode from 12-20mm – and distorsion correction works too😊

Very good review. I also just purchased this lens and are experimenting with some timelaps clips. So far it looks promising.

Dear sir I am using d3200 Nikon camera at present I am planning to upgrade my camera Looking between d5600 , d7200 and d7500…. Kindly advise which is good and better for long keep for future use in all aspects.. Please advise…. Regards Vicky
Dear Vicki, there is no easy advice here. I lobe D5x00 series for small size and yet good image quality. If you need great AF performance (shooting action, low light), go for D7500. V.

I think I’m going to get this lens soon for my D7100 to upgrade my Nikkor 18-55m f/3.5 AF-S kit lens. Overall, this looks like a fantastic deal. My only concern is with astrophotography, a field that I’ve recently got into. Is it possible to get any decent astro shots with this lens? Of course, I understand the maximum aperture is narrower than my kit lens, but do you know if the wider zoom would make up for it? Here’s my favorite astro shot with my kit lens so far (this was a stitched panorama). goo.gl/xsARnc. As long as I can get similar level shots with this lens, I’m definitely buying it. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Hi Vaclav
Beautiful landscape photos – well done! Where did you shoot the coastal location photos?

Hi Vikas, autofocus works well with D7200, the only issue is the impossibility to turn off the Vibration Reduction function, which normally is not much of an issue though. As for the 7200 vs 7500 dilemma: unless you need the dual slot for serious photo assignments (e.g. weddings), 7500 is clearly a better camera, not by a huge margin, but it is. I would appreciate a better autofocus, slightly better ISO performance and above all a tilting screen. Either way, you will get a great camera, so no worries (I still use D7100). I hope this helps, Vaclav

Dear Prachi, image quality is very similar, with a small fraction advantage for D7500. D7200 has two card slots, so if you photograph as professional (weddings etc) – that might be a factor. Personaly, however, I would pick D7500 for tilting screen and better ergonomics (deeper grip). See more here: photographylife.com/nikon…0-vs-d7200
Hi Va’clav.which lenses is better optically?
Nikon 10-20 Vs Afp 18-55.
