Yes ok that said the diffrence in price is around £120 is it that worth it they do say the minolta are better but just wondered what everyones take on it was :shrug:

Do you mean the Minolta 17-35 f/2.8 - f/4?

If so this is an excellent lens!

Not sure, generally the recommended wides are the Minolta / Konica Minolta 17-35 f/2.8 - f/4 or the Zeiss 16-35.

Not familiar with the Tokina lens I'm afraid!
