Hi all,
I have a Tonkina 11-16mm 2.8 lens that I'm using on a D7000 and I'm not getting the sharpness I was hoping for.
Recently I used the Nikon 14-24mm 2.8 and it was stunning. Whether I was focusing through the view piece or flicking to Live View and focusing, it was always pin sharp. There is an example below...

I don't know if its because I'm comparing images from the Nikon or I'm just doing something wrong, I can't get a very sharp image from the Tonkina.

I usually focus a 1/3 into the scene and have tried the hyper focus technique (which I'm not entirely sure I'm doing it correctly).

Anyone else use this lens?

Cheers!
Lee
