When u're talking abt wide angle terms, 5mm does make quite a significant difference. In tele, even 100mm difference is not too significant.
Tokina should build a 11 or 12mm f/4 prime lens for significantly less than the price of either the 11-16 or 12-24....
Hahahah i'd buy one in a snap! My 12-24 is pretty much always at the wide end. Seems a waste to pay $$ for the zoom when I don't need it.

I shoot 90% of my shots on my 12-24 at 12mm. If not why should i buy it in the first place?
yeah... exactly... an ultra-wide angle ZOOM lens seems overkill to me. Probably the optics will be better too if it was a UWA prime.
Hahahaha that's because it's a Canon L Lens mah.
I don't believe a Tokina UWA prime would cost more than a Tokina UWA zoom.
since the optics are always simpler in a prime.
Yeah we're both beating about the same bush
I wish for a 3rd party UWA prime because:
a) it'd likely be cheaper than their equivalent UWA zoom (simpler optics)
b) it'd likely be sharper than their equivalent UWA zoom (no compromises)
Prime lenses rock!
especially for UWA when I almost always have it at the shortest focal length... a prime would be ideal.

I go for Sigma's 12-24 for a couple of reasons:
-No Canon lens can go as wide
-Widest UWA lens for FF.
-Excellent barrel distortion control.
-Affordable
-Widest UWA lens for FF.
If you trim the built-in lens hood on the Tokina 10-17mm lens that can be used on FF.

Ermm hello....so much vignetting and we're not talking about circular fisheye lenses. If so, Sigma's 8mm has the crown.
Agree with you. Same for Sony.
-Widest UWA lens for FF.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
-Excellent barrel distortion control.:thumbsup:
-Affordable (a bit subjective though )
and the coating seems to have the polarizer 'built-in'

I'm not sure abt the 'polarizing effect' on the coating but at $1312, i think it's affordable for a lens at this wideness for FF.
That's why I said 'subjective' cos you think it is affordable, what about others ? Anyway, I like the lens and I think it is quite good....again this is a subjective statement We shall continue to enjoy using it Btw, do you put on the gelatin filter ? Do you know where to get ?

No need for any gelatin filter. U can DIY.
