Are you sure that they are equal to Canon L lenses George?
I seem to remember some time ago that Zimmy thought that way too, for a
while. Then he was very very unhappy with his Tokina.....

Hi Bob,
Well, as we all know - these things are matter of opinion. I don't have Canon
28-70L lens, but I have Canon 20-35L and Canon 80-200L and my Tokina
28-80/2.8AT-X pro produces results of the same quality - or I can't tell the
difference on my slides when it comes to sharpness and contrast between all
the above lenses.
I think that Zimmy had a bad lens. there was a batch of these bad Tokinas out
there - I read some things on the internet some place. But I think that most
of them are good. These things happen to all things - remember EOS 3 problem
when they first came out - underexposure deal.
So all I can attest to is my Tokina. There are lots of people here, on the
list even, that are happy with older Tokina - 28-70 2.6-2.8 AT-X pro, which
is a good lens as well.
George
