Drool. Looks just like a 12-24, so I expect L-quality build & optics. Looks like Tokina might get me to start my first gear churn to swap my beloved 12-24 for this guy. I love that the blog points to the Amazon gift card site...dropping hints, eh? :D
Hmm. Sounds intriguing. that would give me f2.8 from 11mm to 200mm. :D Currently for wide on a crop you're looking either at the ultra-wides of Canon 10-22 or Tokina 12-24 as top dogs, or one of the several 17-xx zooms.
Sweet!! I own the Tokina 12-24 f/4 and am very hapy with it. The big drawback of course is the f/4 max aperture. Love my Canon 24-105 f/4 too, but same gripe on max aperture. I tend to shoot with off camera light indoors, so a fast lens is less important to me in most situations.
