Excellent Wide Angle

"This is a very strong build lens. I love it for it ultra wide angle and hardly uses it above 15mm. The same goes for aperture. It works very well at F4 but I hardly use it below F13. You have to get used to the push/pull MF/AF-switch but since almost all of my shots are done using a tripod in MF it is a minor detail. You have to watch out for flares but the included hood takes care of most. CA can be a problem..." Read Full Review »

Now the problem. I purchased it in June 2006 and by June..." Read Full Review »

"The write-ups were right spot on. It works like advertised. I would recommend a good, solid tripod/ballhead with spirit levels. And if you have it on in a crowded location, be sure to get in close. I test used it for a week on my Nikon D-200, and it will be something I'm sure I won't leave behind on …"  Read Full Review »

"From all of the reviews I read, Canon (10-22mm) had a slight edge on image quality with Sigma and Tokina neck and neck for a close second. I chose the Tokina because it was [$] cheaper than the Canon and was reviewed as having better build quality than Sigma. I've gotten great results so far, couple …"  Read Full Review »

"I was looking at a ultra wide angle and a zoom. Realized I couldn't afford what Canon offered, I'd have to choose one or the other and that'd would be a tough decision. So I decided to try third party and get both zoom and wide for a fair price.

This wide angle is a great lens for the money.
