Wondered if any of you landscapers use this lens? I'd love to know how sharp it is and what the build quality is like.
Thanks

If it's anything like the 12-24 Gavin it should be okay - its' longer brother is very sharp and built like a tank.

The Tokina 10-17mm is a semi-fisheye, so the results are not quite the same as the 12-24mm
It is sharp enough in the centre but with a 180 degree field of view, light at the edges is going through a right angle!
Build, like most Tokina lenses, is very solid.
You'll find it has the same optical construction as the Pentax of the same FL.

Cool thanks guys. I'll be using it for underwater work so need the fisheye capabilities.
