I agree 100 per cent. The Tokina ATX lenses are second to none. In Fact, I am seriously considering buying an 80-200 F2.8 and a 20-35 Tokina ATX. Vic
One should consider/remember that sharpness, resolution, distortion etc. isn't everything. What is important is to get the right shots - to be able to frame the subject right at the right time. That's what matters - not marginal differences in sharpness etc. Anyway, I believe my Tokina is as sharp as many primes. Jens Bladt
