I'm trying to decide - I use a Canon 7D - I'm looking at a super wide angle lens and I've narrowed it to two; the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 vs Canon EF-S 10-22 f/3.5. Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks

Well I sure love my Canon EF-S 10-22 f/3.5. Its one of my favorite lenses to walk around and shoot with. But I concede I never did get to try the Tokina.

Here is my Flickr link to my 10-22mm pictures.

I just bought the Tokina 11-16 very pleased and it was a lot less money and better rated than some of the Nikons

Thanks all - I'm going with the Tokina for no other reason than it is faster (f2.8)

I suspect you'll never regret that decision.

I am not a canon shooter..but if you read the rockwell article he is talking to nikon shooter..I believe he is on love with the canon lens..10-22mm ..go back and read his review of the canon. To me the tokina is a bit limiting..at 11-16mm ..just me..I prefer more range.
