I've made the switch, and I'd like to briefly discuss these two lenses.
The main reason for me is having the longer end on the Nikkor. 16mm is still way too wide, and I often had to crop pretty severely. I hate switching lenses, and I don't even have a 18-whatever kit type lens. The better (heavier) ones I wouldn't want to lug around anyway.
A big advantage of the Tokina is the f/2.8 - that's not something I need at all. I shoot f/8 or f/11 >99% of the time. The Nikkor is lighter, which is nice for hiking.
My Tokina had broken AF (an unfortunate run in with the girlfriend) which wasn't that much of a big deal. Easiest lens ever to manual focus. I got a good deal on the Nikkor, so the upgrade only cost me $200.
The lens I would love to use is the Sigma 8-16mm, but sadly it doesn't accept filters. I love using a polarizer for mountain lakes, so it's a big deal for me.
The Tokina is a better lens for the money if you pay retail. It's just not built as tough as it may seem: a 30 cm drop to the carpet killed the AF. If you could ever imagine a survivable drop, that was it.

Thank you Gillette
So there I was, putting on my rape shoes, and practicing my sexual harassment pickup lines this morning. I just got done cyberbullying my coworkers. It was time to shave, I yelled at my wife to smile because I demand it, while pinching her butt right after she told me she didn't consent to it. Putting on the shaving cream and thinking about how I can get my son into a fight at the next BBQ, I replaced the worn Gillette brand Mach3 and began to chant "boys will be boys" as I started to shave. Then suddenly my daughter burst into the bathroom holding her phone. As I began to mansplain to her why she isn't smart enough to know my shaving time is
Haiti is a shithole country
OK so Trump called Haiti a shithole country, and apparently it made many people upset. The dictionary definition of shithole, Google says, is "an extremely dirty, shabby, or otherwise unpleasant place."
Anderson spends two minutes here saying how Haitians are tough people. Yes, that's true. Tough people live in shithole countries everywhere around the world. That's totally besides the point. A country is not a "collection of people rich and poor" blah blah. That's the Haitian people. The country is more (or in this case LESS lol) than its citizens. It's a nation with laws occupying a particular geographic location.
So what is this sleight of
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Meryl Streep is an ableist ...
Watch Streep’s speech first below. I’d like to make two broad points about what she said.
… who disrespects disabled people
Some brief background information first. Serge Kovaleski, whom Donald Trump mocked is a successful high profile journalist who won The Pulitzer Prize. That is to say, he is vastly more successful than 99.99% of people in the world, regardless of their health status. He’s probably a millionaire, and is definitely a member of the elite. I don’t doubt his success and his ability to get things done in life.
Did Trump mock Kovaleski? Yes. However, as per this video - https://youtu.be/5aYFC_7Z

As far as survivable falls go, my Canon 70-300 L series (wildlife/birds) took a 1.5 metre drop to a vinyl floor. Apart from a crushed UV filter, which I managed to get off, the lens was perfect. IS & AF working no problems. A heavy beast (which I don't mind) but tough. Go Canon!
