Tapsu marks the Area

The colors look muddy.  No offense to Tokina, but some of those lenses do leave such cast on colors.

What is it with the dog in here?

 Visual Reality is one thing and reading is another… which might answer best to the latter part of the what you are wondering…

For the colors one should consult Erwin Puts for the superiority of Nikon to Tamron or Tokina as I feel that is way beyond my skills.. so I leave that part to be discussed on that forum..

Still I would go with the 14-24 mm Nikon simply because it covers the range of 99% of the shots I take. For what I do currently, the Nikon really makes more sense.. plus it has more range which I really like as it should stay on my camera more often. I appreciate the input. Before making definite decision which lens to use next - I will concentrate to read more about dog’s basic behavior.
