[QUOTE=cfortner;12551696]I love my Tokina 11-16. Here are some of the shots I've taken with it.
Excellent shots! I was scrolling from the bottom up and hit your pictures. I was dreading to see what lens you were using because I ordered the Tokina on Monday. I was quite relived when I saw they came from the Tokina.

When I was recently looking for a wide angle lens, I found out that some people buy the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 to use on full frame cameras. (And now that includes me.) It can only be used at 15 or 16mm without vignetting, but for the price point, I was fine with that limitation. I haven't really used it all that much yet, but for the limited time I have, it's worked fine on my Canon 5D3 and I've been pleased with the the photos I've taken with it.
Puncher,
I think you'll enjoy that lens. You're off to a great start.

Originally posted by Bill M View PostThanks Casey, appreciate the info. I'm thinking about the F4 version. I really don't need 2.8 wide on this type of lens since I wouldn't ever shoot it wide open.
They both have their merits. I've kept the 2.8 for night stuff mainly.
One thing to remember with super wide's is that you will get less than desirable results with a polarizer. I've screwed a few shots up that way.
