tamron 10-24 vs tokina 11-16
I'm planning to buy a wide angle lens for a 550d to use it with a steadicam merlin.
The tamron lens is cheaper but not as fast as the tokina. But since I am in a tight budget I'm thinking to go with the tamron. Does anyone have any experience with it especially in night conditions? Thanks... |
I can't comment on the Tamron by I have the Tokina and have to say that it is an awesome lens. Super sharp and get value for the performance.

Is it worth the 40% extra? If you intend to sell or earn money from your work, yes. Don't hesitate - get it. It's got me shots that would not have worked with the Tamron or my usual workhorse - the EX1 (even with a wide angle adaptor that costs the same as the Tamron). Don't forget the benefits of DoF at 2.8 - it blew my mind when I realised I could get a blurry bgd and sharp action with such a wide angle lens. I get paid to make things like people writing on a white board look sexy, so the Tokina paid for its self that day. Invest in good glass. |

Good glass is an investment... I think I'll go with the tokina because of the 2.8 stop.. Thanx |
