I shot it at 1/8 iso 100 f4.0.
handheld too..

think i need to run a test?

That would probably be camera shake not OOF. Just get a faster shutter speed and take more real world shots. Make sure the camera focuses on what you want, select a focus point don't let the camera guess. If you want a slow shutter, get it on a tripod.

Just get a magazine out. Focus on a word. Come back and post it up...

brought out the 17-70 this past weekend. i havent touched this thing since my 12-24

cant direct link the image cause its too big :P

eryk, I think that's a bad link. It won't open for me.

works fine for me

Nice shot "again" eryk

Now it's working. Nice work.

eryk,

How is that Tokina treating you? I'm planning on getting it before my trip to Croatia later on in December. (either that or Tam 17-50 or Sig 17-70)

got out in the garden again today and tightened up a few settings
light was better too
#1 70mm iso100 f5.6 1/40
#2 33mm iso100 f4.5 1/40
much better than yesterday

those shutter speeds are slower than i can handhold this lens and expect good results.

i love it, amazing build, constant f4. it feels great, did i mention amazing build?

i will be trading it for a sigma 10-20 only because i feel like that i need the 10mm distortion when i shoot cars. if not, i would definately keep the tokina, as 12mm is already very wide for most applications.

Well i haven't posted any pics in a while in this thread so here is some more i took with it.
It is now my walk around lens pretty much.
I have another lens on the way finally.
