There are also AFD20mm, AFD20-35mm, AFS17-35mm, all are very good image quality.

Nikon is the flagship.

The extra dollars you spend will worth it.

Get Tokina 12-24mm f/4, the diff $ use it to buy a Nikon 50mm f1.4 or Nikon 85mm f1.8 or maybe a Sigma 30mm f1.4.

Coz most of the you don't really use super WA lens that much. For me, use super WA only when I travel.

really depends on your shooting style... i got about 30%+/- of my photos done using my 12-24. which is consider quite a lot to me.

Do you have a b-u-d-g-e-t???

You prefer prime or zoom?

jimbok · 22nd January 2007

I just sold my Tokina 124 cuz it wasnt wide enough as compared to the EF-S 10-22 I used before I switch to Nikon. So I guess Sigma 10-20 is the way if you are looking for extreme wide and more versatile as this is a zoom lens.
