I have one complaint about my Tokina 11-16. The FOV is so huge I can't use it at home because either the house or trees get in frame and they are illuminated by street lights. Up at Glenhaven I get some part of the Sydney skyglow no matter what direction I point it.

Image included just to give you some idea of what it covers. Unprocessed apart from resize to 25%. The eastern horizon is just out of frame at the bottom. Sydney is towards bottom right. Scorpio occupies about 20% of the frame.
