i know there are pros and cons of all the 3 lens but need help deciding.

tokina 10-17 DX fisheye

tokina 12-24
or

sigma 10-20

would i eventually get tired of the fishyness of the 10-17. is either sharper or have better contrast and saturation than the others?

I have the Tokina 12-24mm and the build quality is exceptional. I also like the design of the focus clutch quite a bit. I haven't used the other lenses though, so I can't comment.

I think this was a 20 second or so exposure of me smoking a cigar.

I have a Tokina 12-24 and have used it with a 350D

All the pics on this page were taken with it (day 1). Some full size jpgs are on site as well (after being converted from RAW).

Here are some test shots at all apertures at different focal lengths.

I think it is a good lens, built like a tank and IQ more than meets my needs which are web publishing and prints up to A4
I have not used any other ultra wide zooms.
Hope this helps.

I have the Canon ef-s 10-22, 10mm on the wide end is very nice to have, IMO.
