Why 40mm is the best focal length?
The 40mm is the best for the streets because it’s not special. Neither too wide (35mm) nor too long (50mm) it’s normal; this is why it’s the best. Shooting street, you don’t need bokeh, you need the ability to take all the shots you want without worrying about how much space you got.

Ideal for street, architectural, and food photography The 40mm’s compact build makes it very easy to stow in casual bags of nearly any size.

Is the Tokina 11-16mm a good lens?
This Tokina 11-16mm is the world’s fastest and sharpest ultrawide lens for small format digital cameras (Nikon DX and Canon 1.6x). Considering its bargain price of under $600, its the world’s best ultrawide lens for digital SLRs. It is very well made. Its distortion is much easier to correct than the Nikkor’s.
Is the Tokina 11-16mm compatible with the Nikon D40?
This Tokina 11-16mm is perfectly compatible with all the Nikon DSLRs on which I tried it (D70, D40, D200, D300 and D3), and probably all of them, period. The only gotcha is that you must focus manually on the D40, D40x or D60, even though they still meter and expose perfectly.
Do I need close distance for Tokina 11-20?
You don’t need close distance (<1m) so AF is not an issue. If you need that, ask Tokina to adjust if you have issues. Re: Tokina 11-20 VS Tokina 11-16, Which one is the best?
Should I buy the 11-20mm used?
Just don’t penny pinch and buy the 11-20mm used. Everyone that has a good copy of this lens holds on to it. As such, the used copies out there have a much higher chance of having quality issues, AF or otherwise. Which one do you recommend me to buy considering my needs?
