For that budget, maybe the Sigma 10-20?

Tamaron 11/16 f/2.8 is a great piece of work- but, I suspect a shade above your proposed budget.

Tamron makes a 11-16/2.8?? I thought is Tokina?

 

[ragnarok95]

I think he mean tokina 11-16 F2.8..

Both starts with "T" maybe he mixed up ~

 

[jeff7id]

For Tamron version should be

- 11-18mm F/4.5-5.6
- 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5

instead.

Haha oops, didn't see the mis-spell too

With this budget only Tamron 10-24mm and the most lightweight & cheaper among all UWA zoom lens.

well 12-24 tokina well be just nice in the budget.
i would recommend tokina more than other simply because of the lens build
internal focusing and zooming !!

My bad. It is tikona and not tamaron.

Sorry, can't help it

12-24 is better. More flexible for the zoom range. 11-16 is almost like a prime.

with your Budget I think u can consider Sigma 10-22? the variable aperture version (not the fixed f3.5 version as that cost S$1K +-)
