Ok... So I want to buy this lens right? But then when I go to check it out in detail it says Note, not for APS censor like 20d. Well do they make this lens for the 20d?? If so can someone point me in the right direction.

I am slightly confused by this statement but I have this lens and it works fine on my 20D.

Where did you read this ?

Note: Use of this lens is NOT recommended with 35mm or APS SLR cameras.

Note: Equivalent focal length in 35mm terms when used on a digital camera is 18-36mm.





That is what they all say.. I mean it will still work but not as wide or something IDN

The 20D is an APS-C sensor...not a full sized APS.

Yeah it'll work. The difference is the size of the sensor. APS-C cameras have smaller sensors than full frame APS ones when compared to standard 35mm film SLRs. Rebels (300Ds), Rebel XTs (350Ds), 20Ds, and 30Ds will work. Any film camera or 5D or 1D series camera will not work.

Well I have Ls and I'm still gonna get it in a month or so. 12mm is really really wide on a crop and there are no Ls that go there that I know of. If you had one of the big money cameras you could get the 16-35mm f/2.8 for similiar width but throw that lens on a 20D and you aren't as wide.

Don _ I've found 10mm to be quite useful with my EF-S. Yea its not an L but certainly not the quality on the Kit lens. IQ wise its as good if not better than some of the Canon L zooms. Focus is fast and quiet with the USM too.

I don't doubt that and that's what I'm saying. I wouldn't use it enough to justify Canon's price for their version unless it came down to that of the Toki. I did feel the need for more than 18mm at Disney though.

Old story, but I have bought the Tokina not once but twice...I traded the first one and immediately regretted it. I love it. Here is a shot I took with it in Sydney (the conversion is not at highest quality, but you'll get the idea.)
