Sorry, don't know it, so cannot comment.

I know a lot of press snappers in London are using Tokinas' ATX Pro.
General opinion seems to be that it's solidly built, is as sharp as Canons
own 28-80 �2.8, and only marginally slower to focus than Canons, all for
half the price of the marque version. The only downside seems to be that to
zoom the lens you rotate the barrel in the opposite direction to Canons'
lenses.
I can't speak from first hand experience, but it's on my shopping list
already.
