[quote name='TanjaSchulte' timestamp='1294764472' post='5425']and that´s something i don´t really understand.
tokina gets it´s glas from hoya and hoya should have the expertise to do good coatings.[/quote]
"Grau, teurer Freund, ist alle Theorie, und grün des Lebens goldner Baum.". And so are the flares produced by most Tokina wide angle lenses: green.
[quote name='TanjaSchulte' timestamp='1294764472' post='5425']i read that too.
but everyone says ist has the overall better image quality.[/quote]
If we're talking about image resolution numbers wide open there's no doubt about it. But I'm doing landscape and architecture with a tripod, aperture between 7.1 and 11 most of the time. Therefore I'm using the sweet spot of the lens and resolution numbers in the sweet spot will cause no problem, not even in the test lab. And I'm doing ny own prints up to A3+ and hardly ever feel the urge to examine the corners with a loupe.
[quote name='TanjaSchulte' timestamp='1294764472' post='5425']i have read many reviews of the canon 10-22mm but i was not very impressed by the border sharpness of the lens.
most reviews say that the tokina 11-16 is quiet a bit shaper then the canon.[/quote]
Read the reviews again, compare the numbers stopped down and keep in mind that the eye is a device with limited resolution.
Sometimes I just want to call for a double blind test with prints and I suppose it might look like "Statistics 101" revisited.
Ciao, Walter
