Ok... I was about to buy the Tokina 12-24 but then I read how bad the CA for this lens is. I dont know how to fix CA in PS very well so can someone give me advice on what to do. Different lens mabye or just buy the Tokina and learn how to fix CA?

More info | May 29, 2006 15:40 | #4 I don't think you have to worry all too much about CA with the Tokina 12-24. I had this lens and found it to be very competent and well built. Very nice overall for the price. I gave mine up because it was too wide for my 1D MkI (vignetting issues). I think that most people would be happy with this lens. I've heard good things about the Sigma 10-22 also, but I've never used it before so I can't give any comments on this lens. Going with the Canon 17-40 f/4L or 16-35 f/2.8L would be the ultimate, but they're more like "normal" lenses when attached to a 1.6xcrop camera body. 1D MKI + 1Ds MKI + 5D MKI Kit - EF17-35 f2.8L | EF24-70 f2.8 L | EF 100-400L IS | EF15 f2.8 | EF35L | EF50 f1.4 | EF85 f1.8 | EF135L | 580EX II | 580EX I | 270EX II | G12

Here is a shot with it: dmstraton

This guy ranks it the best among 3rd party UWA lens. See his review here.
