Re: EOS Tokina 19-35 or Canon 20-35 - Help me choose.

[Pierre Bellavance]

According to the B&H website, the Tokina AF193C 19-35 is $200 while the Canon 20-35 is $420... not exactly "almost the same price"... unless your Tokina lens was another model?

I agree that if they were almost the same price I would get the Canon, but here the difference in price is huge...

But which lens is the best?

    2 weeks ago I was in this same position. Since the Tokina is almost the
same price as the Canon, I chose the Canon EF 20-35 lens. Also, the Canon
has USM and focuses like magic. Results are excellent, very sharp indeed.
Tokina makes fine lenses, but consider two other things: do you want the
word Canon on the lens cap? And: if one day you want to sell, the Canon will
hold it's value very well.
Buy the Canon hood with it, you won't regret it.
