First shots with new lens....

Hey Liz,

Glad you finally got to try out the lens.

When I bought mine, I didn't do the research I normally do, so I wasn't aware that Sigma had a 10-20mm lens. I realized it after I got the Tokina. Ever since, I have always wondered what I'm missing without those extra 2mm. On most lenses, it wouldn't be an issue, but 2mm on an ultra wide can be a huge difference. I thought about sending back the Tokina and getting the Sigma, but the constant aperture, build quality, and great reviews convinced me to keep the Tokina. I don't regret the choice I made at all.

I agree the Tokina is a nice lens. I'm happy with the IQ, build - and especially the constant aperture. I don't know whether I want to give that last one up! It's that 2mm thought that keeps hanging around my head.

Thank you for your comments.......I appreciate the input......btw, your images on the wide angle thread are excellent.
