Tokina 12-24 f/4

[RubyMagic]

How does this lens compare to the Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6?

Is it better?


Ive been thinking about buying the Tokina but Im not familiar with the quality level of Tokina products.

The tokina isn't as wide.

Obviously...but I heard the sigma has some bad barrel distortion. How is the Tokina with overall image quality?

this is the most comprehensive comparison i've seen...

2mm is a lot in that style of lens....

If you really want to through yourself into a tizz then check out the review on this new Tokina 11mm that comes out in June...

I have the sigma 10-20 for my sony and I am super happy. I don't have anything bad to say about it. I am really happy and it is quite sharp. I don't know anything about the tokina tho.
