I intend to get a wide angle lens. Maybe in a month or so.

I looked at a lot of reviews some time ago and concluded the Tokina 12-24 was the way to go. There seems to be a rush of Sigma purchases round here so I had another look around the reviews.

End result is I'm back in that state of confusion as to what to choose. Shame there doesn't seem to be a Tokina owner around for comparisons.

Guess I'll just carry on pondering a bit longer :Ponders:

I think there is but can't remember who now:doh:

The Tokina 12-24 is one lens that I have been looking at for sometime..........but be interested to see how you find the Sigma David.

For others looking for Wide Angle I read a lot of reviews & posted back here (http://www.thephotographyforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3597) from mid 20 post onwards. The Nikonians test was very good.
