Nice to see Tokina is getting their c.a. under control. Any issues with purple fringing? Any comments regarding flare?
Good for you Klaus regarding your rant on centering issues. I hope manufacturers take notice. I think the current situation is completely unacceptable, and I can't help but think that if one of the manufacturers starts testing and guaranteeing alignment of their premium lenses (Canon L, Sigma EX, Tokina ATX Pro, etc) they'll capture market share plus they can justify charging more.
Imagine buying a car and having a 25% change of proper wheel alignment and valve timing. Sheesh!
As for optical rating, maybe it should be 1 star to 4.5 stars, depending on how lucky you are?
