My Way

Well, if you're more than 'just-beginning-and-very-excited' type of photog, you know the drill. You buy the priciest camera you can afford, and it gives you practically nothing. Nuffin, nada.

Ok, ok. I'll slow down. Of course it gave me many things, freedom to think, compose, expose. But All the pictures I got with my beloved f801s, I could have gotten with any PS disposable.

Not that I'd trade =D.

Tokina AF 19-35mm 1:3.5-4.5D / Japan

After thinking for a long time about this type of lenses (wide angle), i finally bite the bullet and bought this. I think this is second best lens I own. I really like the wide end, and 35mm isn't bad either. Some pictures can be seen here.
Some technical data

Model AF 193 (beware of other version, it's made by Cosina, and is rumoured to have really bad quality problems. AF193 is designed by Tokina itself, former Nikon engineers)
Focus: ∞ - 0.4m
Mount: AF-D
Filter: 77m
Appertures: (wide f3.5, long 4.5) - (wide f22, long f32)
Body is hard, metallish plastic.
Mount is metal.
Feels heavy -> metal + optics inside.
IF, Front ring does not rotate on zooming or focusing, no need to adjust filter.
