Hi Shaun...
Actually just sold the MF version of this lens (I believe the AF/MF versions are the same optically) to make room for the DA 16-45. Optically, the lens is decent, and the build quality, while nothing to get excited about, certainly won't crumble to dust when you're not looking. All in all, I think it delivers fair performance for the price.
Here are some examples for you to judge on your own:
+ Everything on this page was taken with the lens at 19mm and probably close to wide open: <http://www.sherb.org/house/>
+ This one was probably taken at the 35mm end, probably f16: <http://www.testosteraloosa.com/t-craterlake/swim_jason_jump.html>
+ Probably wide end, f16. The corner fall-off is much more noticeable: <http://www.testosteraloosa.com/t-craterlake/group_lake.html>
Just out of curiosity, how was the performance of your Tokina?

Anybody know anything about the Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3/5-4.5 AF lens? I am on the lookout for another wideangle zoom in this range. I did have a Tokina 19-35 and stupidly sold it. Any opionions/comparisons?
Cheers
Shaun
