NEWS: Sigma releases a crapload of new lenses

Look feller, speed rules. And the brightest VF possible is the nicest thing.

But by all means, go for the Sigger if it'll make ya happy

speed, I thought it was light?

Anyway, I get what you are saying f2.8 is better than f3.5, but at the cost of the range for such little gain? When you are talking f2.8 to f4-5.6, then it was a huge factor. But f2.8-3.5 I don't get so excited. 11-16 is a pretty limited range, so I guess the decision is a bit tougher now.

And I am a tighwad, so I would probably end up with the closeout 10-20mm f4-5.6 lens anyway

Doesn't the f2.8 of the tokina allow for the better AF on the 40D, while the f3.5 of the new Sigma just miss it?

Yeah, but a blind guy could manual focus at 11mm. You pretty much can't misfocus.
