Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4 PRO DX Lens

+ Brilliant picture quality. Decided after much trial and debate to purchsse the Tokina over the Tamron. I am extremely pleased with this lens and use it a lot. Given the small comparitive size of chip in my new Canon 450D, a pretty wide angle is a real necessity. At its widest setting, this one about as wide as anyone would want to normally go - without real fish-eye type results. I would recommend this lens to anyone amateur or professional. Incidentally, the Simply Electronics price was definately the best I found by far and thier service was excellent. I recommend them as well.

- A bit heavy but so well built - I reckon that's a good price to pay.

+ Brilliant ultra wide lens.

+ Excellent product for the money, great pictures & focusing, ideal wide angle lens for the Nixon D90.

- Still looking for them, prehaps a dust bag would have been nice.

Image quality for the price

- Not motorised on AutoFocus

+ Solid feel, I like the weight of the lens, reminds me of the mechanical slr lenses I started with
autofocus is fast and quiet , manual focus is easy and doesn't feel flimsy. Images produced are excellent on my 400D

- None found so far.
