Bryan over at The Digital Picture has completed his review of the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX II. This lens is for APS-C sensor sizes.
How it does against the rest of the ultra wide APS-C Zooms:
“As you saw in the charts on this page, there are a large number of ultra-wide APS-C format zoom lenses available. Since these lenses compete strongly against each other and since no standout exists from an image quality standpoint, selecting the right model for your needs is quite challenging. I've already mentioned the Tokina's focal length range disadvantage and significant max aperture advantage over all of these other lenses. The aperture advantage makes the 11-16 the definite choice for stopping action or handholding in low light (at least until the image stabilized Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens appears). The Tokina has less vignetting and less distortion than most of the rest.”
