Wide angle lens for Canon 7D?

Hi People,

I recently bought Canon 7D + 28-135 IS kit, now I am looking to buy a wide angle lens
after reading few forums / blogs I have zeroed down on blogs Tokina 11-16mm F2.8


Looking for some feedback from this forum before going ahead with the purchase

Thanks,
Sameer

What about the Canon 10-22 or if you want to be really brave, the Sigma 10mm fisheye.
I love both of those lenses.

From what I have read online Tokina lens is much sharper than Canon 10-22 plus
the F2.8 made me think about it.

For me the Canon 10-22 was the best option when I was using a crop body. And schaprnes of the Canon is very good.

For me al the way Canon. Also looked for the Tokina. But flare distortion where for me better on the Canon. (the test I did whit several lenses before I made my decision)

Advies do you own test out side.

I own both, there is virtually no difference in the sharpness. f2.8 can be useful in some situations where low light is a problem, but there's no other reason to lust after it (DoF on an UWA is huge, f3.5 vs f2.8 makes very little difference).

Where the two lenses differ immensly is their handling of flare.

I'd go with the Canon 10-22, I've got one (but use it very little) and if you do some research here you'll fine it's highly recommended.

Very good comparison of the two lenses!

Also the focal range of the Canon is slightly more flexible. You never know, 16mm to 22mm can make a difference.
