First real advice needed post for me!
I'm gridlocked in my decision between the Tamron 10-24mm (f3.5-4.5) and the Tokina 11-16mm (f2.8) for Canon. Priority of uses for this lens:
1. Everyday vacation shots, landscapes, etc. My favorite subject is landscapes. Will get frequent use here.
2. Nightscapes (Milky Way, nighttime city skylines, etc). Might only take a handful of shots, but I've been dying for a gorgeous Milky Way shot.
Already have a Tamron 17-50mm f 2.8.
So here's what I've got so far for pros/cons:
Tamron: Gives me a better range for being at the beach, etc on vacation and switching between landscapes and pics of my kids, etc without having to switch lenses. Also about $100 cheaper (used available at my local shop). Also gives me that extra 1mm at the wide end. But it's variable aperture and slower, which will give me headaches for my Milky Way shots.
Tokina: Still gives me the range I need (minus that 1mm), constant aperture has it's pros, also the fast lens will be nice for the Milky Way shot. But it might not give me a good enough range for my every day vacation shots at the beach without switching to my 17-50. It's $100 more. And later on I might consider a fisheye, which would probably take its place for Milky Way shots (maybe not?).
What would you do? Is there anything I'm not considering? Thanks for the help!
