Can I recommend the tokina 16-28 f2.8? I own it and i like it a whole lot.

Thanks Matt, and yes have been looking at that one VERY closely. Really like the looks of the Nikon 14-24 f2.8 though. Have you ever compared these two as in rented the Nikon to do some shots? I have read, and read, and read, but still not sure if I would be happy with Tokina???? If possible would you be able to post a couple shots taken with Tokina.? Close-ups with texture would be nice. If you have any handy Matt.
Sorry for being a pain in the a$$.

Congrats HBG!
Nikon's 14-24 - sweet lens for sure.
Filtering it is a small fortune though.

Sorry Matt. Now have the 14-24 f2.8, (purchased last night), 24-70 f2.8, and 70-200 f2.8 VRII. You are very correct Marko, this 14-24 is AMAZING!!!!

No need to apologize, the Nikon is a great lens, for sure. Usually, if you stick with the name brand you cannot go wrong. I looked at the lens as well, but decided to go with the more affordable Tokina ...
