Is this a good lens? I was thinking about grabbing it for a good wide angle for cars. Any one have any shots on cars with this lens? I like wide angle up close shots.

It was great colour, contrast, distortion and flare resistance (it actually beats the Canon L zooms in the last 2 categories). It's built like a tank, all aluminum barrels with chrome plated brass mount plate. It has the smoothest manual focus ring of any lens available for a Canon, and includes a 3 year warranty. What more could you ask for? While I dont have any car pictures here are some samples: - large closeup at F4  - 100% image almost directly into the sun - 75% of the pictures here taken with the Tokina Very very impressive ! 1DX, 5D, 20D with BG E2, Sigma EX DG 8mm F3.5 Circular Fish Eye, EF 15 mm f2.8 fish eye, EFS 10-22 mm f3.5-4.5, EF 24-70 F2.8 L mark ii, EF 24-105 f4 L IS, EF 16-35 f2.8 L , Sigma 35mm f1.4 A, 50 f1.8 mkII, 50 mm F1.2 L, EF f85mm 1.8, EF 100 f2.8 macro, EF 135 F2 L, Sigma 70-200 f2.8 EX HSM, EF 70-200 f2.8 L, IS USM mark ii, EF 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L IS, Sigma 18-125 f3.5-5.6 DC, APO 1.4x, G3, Cheapy Velbon Sherpa 435, Slick Carbon Fiber, Speedlite 430EX and 580EX with stofen OM-EW

Monty I killed 2 birds with one stone in this thread. Please, call me Steve.

Croasdail making stuff up  More info | May 19, 2005 14:07 | #15 Coke Can - when you figure this out - let me know. I am running a simular thread trying to find a good landscape lens for a trip this summer. Tokina 17 is on my list as is the Sigma 15, Canon 17-40l and the Sigma 12-24..... Good luck!
