Help!! I'm pretty sure this is the lens I need/want for my Nikon d90 to shoot landscape/night photography. Tokina 11-16mm f2.8. Can anyone recommend a good UK supplier?...

As Alistair said, this is a great choice. Make sure that you get the mk2 version if you can as it supposedly has better multicoating. More importantly, the newer model adds an internal autofocus motor in the Nikon version so it now autofocuses even on Nikon's entry level cameras.This would make it more widely sellable if you decide to sell it in the future. If you are considering going down the second hand route, in my opinion, it would make more sense buying new, going the grey import route with at least the promise of a warranty. I have heard only good things from HDEW. At least they are a "UK" company, so should be easier dealt with if an issue arises. They are currently selling the latest lens for £309 here ... http://www.hdewcameras.co.uk/tokina-at-x-116-pro-dx-ii-11...
