Haha
I got a cutes and lovely permed hair la... thats y my nick is 'Cutes Perm'
Not that cute(tadpole) u thought. :bsmilie:
I am just trying to find situations that demand wide aperture for UWA. I am trying to understand and not questioning the style of others.
You expect me to believe that, toad. It would have been cuteperm if that's the case. I wonder how you got pass registration with this nick. This is photography forum and not Sammyboy.
Since this is a discussion on wide angled lens for Canon, and I am planning to buy one, can I take the opportunity to ask for advice/opinion?
Tokina 12-24 has a good review in dpreview for producing sharp pics at all fl but has a narrower widest angle at 12mm compared to 10mm in other brand like Sigma & Tamron.
Does the 2mm (10 degree) make a lot of difference in real world photography? is Sigma's supposed poorer sharpness matters in real world photography?
thank you

yes! 10mm and 12mm is A HUGE DIFFERENCE..
the canon one is good, 2mm more on the long end.. focus faster and more accurate, distortion not that bad as compared to the siggy.. Siggy on the other hand is slightly faster (f3.5) for the new version
oh yah F2.8? INDOOR EVENTS.. enuf said.

i've been wanting to get an UWA too, saving up for one.. im all set for the tokina 11-16. But its quite prevalent in CS that the canon 10-22 is recommended instead. I'd like to know why, optically the tokina is better, its also faster at f2.8. The build quality is also better.
The reasons that the canon is better is that its first party, USM and its wider at 10mm with a longer range till 22mm. Do these qualities outweigh the toks? why?
To TS i'd seriously recommend the tok over the canon unless someone can persuade me otherwise..

Why kick up such a big fuss and cause OT? The sperm is nothing disgusting or obscene. It is merely a means to reproduction.
an ultra wide angle is one of the most creative and challenging lens to have. Its not too dramatic as a fisheye, but yet its at a perspective that humans do not see it in their world every day. So it always poses something of a challenge to take a decent photo with that kind of angle. I have seen many very creative works taken on wide angle lenses especially when used on non-landscape works. Even up till today, the wide angle is still highly prized for its unique perspective and Dof.
I find the nick crass, crude and distasteful. There are girls and young adults on this forum. Can't this spermy guy think of a more suitable nick. Anyway, my ranting is not going to change anything. So end of discussion.
i am torn between tokina and tamron, have read much abt tokina but am also using 28-75 f2.8 thus am very happy with the quality thus far.
any seniors to comment or recommend?
canon is way out of my league 1k plus.....:sweat:

Lol...the tokina isn't exactly very much cheaper anyway~ that's if u compare the 10-22 and 11-16. Anyway, the tokina 11-16 has rave reviews. It's pretty much better in a few ways; optically, price (100-200 cheaper i think), constant aperture.
Do consider anyway. =) i don't own one, but i've tried both lenses side by side before, so i suppose i could offer some recommendations. =)
it is possible to stick a 10-22 onto a 1.3 crop body if you know how
the widest you can get with acceptable vignetting is 12mm though
Hi, I believe what that you are referring to is an omnidirectional mirror (http://www.vstone.co.jp/e/sensor.html). Its not really a lens, u can actually get the same effect if u use a coned mirror.
Personally, I don't think this is used much in photography. (please correct me if i'm wrong) Its more oftenly used in the field of robotics(i was previously doing robotic vision)

could he be referring to a 180degree angle of view fisheye? the 8mm can do that, iirc
Yes.... He should be wearing a pant to avoid such obscenity. Well, one type of rice feed thousands type of people.
another factor often neglected is servicing.
i would think servicing a Canon lens is pretty much hassle free and convenient (harbourfront).
Not quite sure where to service a Tokina product though.
i personally own a 10-22. prior to my purchase, i was contemplating a sigma or canon. my consideration for a third party lens stems mainly from price. Since third party UWA lens are priced near what canon is selling, the obvious choice is Canon.
As for optics quality (distortion, IQ whatever), i'm the kind who believe in working around the limitation of my lens.
