I have the Tokina. It's a beauty. A bit heavy though (for me), I always have to use it on a monopod. Someone recently said to me "You won't get mugged while you're carrying that" . I've had some very good results with it so far, but I didn't use it wide open. Paul used it at an indoor soccer tournament a few months ago - there he DID use it wide open. The lighting was very low, but those which were correctly exposed were very good!
