Quote:The 12-24 was a rebadged Pentax. Or vice-versa, depending on whom you askI remember at the time, canon 5Dmkii was out and everyone was going full frame so owners of this lens were "shaving" it by removing the hood to allow functioning on full frame.
The wide-angles toni mentioned start at 11mm, not 10. So, it's 11-16/2.8 and now a 10-20.
My impression of the 10-17 was slightly different, I think it was and still is very popular. And definitely not "disappeared", it's still a current product and in fact Tokina added a special version without hood.
Their latest announcement was the 24-70/2.8 Pro FX, I think...
I just love tokina build quality too bad they are struggling, my tokina 16-28 is an amazing lens, too bad its range on APS-C isn't that practical
