Then your filters get very expensive... 77mm is ok...

Woah it's gonna flare like crazy.... especially in more northerly or southerly latitudes where the sun rays come in more at an angle than at the equator....

 

[zcf]

is it? I thought its disadvantage would be slower than ssm, didn't know flare would be a problem.
photozone.de rate it little flare though.

You got it at your price?
Hope you like it, now can start shooting more wide angle.

SIGMA 18-125 f/3.5-5.6. All rounder, good for travelling with minimal camera weight.

But Don is looking for the one with SSM for fast focusing speed, and the price is totally different basll game.
I think the reserve for this tokina will be at least US$1000, some more ship to US only.

The lens is nothing to shout about, but is really good enough for non critical work and there is a need to travel light. It's not a fast lens, hence indoor/low light shooting can be a challenge. With KM the AS and high ISO really helps.
