May get the Tokina for the moment. Later when i snowball enough .. will settle for the white L ... :think:
the red ring versions might be noisier than the gold ring. my 28-70mm gold ring pro series dun seem to suffer from noisy focusing. anyway, this 2.8 lens is meant for emergencies - ie low-light situations. for normal shooting, like yesterday when i was out with FB shooting at the JE stadium, the f4L is easier to handle.
