from Germany Summary: I bought this lens recently and have very mixed feelings about it. I simply love the build and feel of this lens. It also has wonderful contrast and color. But I am a bit dissapointed with performance. It's a bit soft, and doesn't get sharp until 5.6, good at 8. It's best for outdoor shots in good light. In bright sunshine it's marvellous, because of resistance to flare and good contrast. As soon as lighting gets poor it gets more difficult to use. I would recommend this lens, but not for low -light situations. It is also difficult to use flash and get good light all over with a lens as wide as this one.
When compared to my Canon 20mm this lens is softer, but has nicer build if you like the steady, manual kind of lens, the Tokina also has better contrast and warmer color. Strengths: Build!!! Contrast, color, price, overall feeling. Weaknesses: A bit soft, mainly for use at f5.6 and up. The focus- witch clutch can be annoying until you get used to it.
