50d-boy Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I've been to the web page that shows several sample images from this lens on a 10D. They look great. My question is, how much different should this prime perform compared to the 18mm f3.5 setting on my 18-55 mm kit EF-S lens. I will only buy this lens if I can gain qualitative increase in performance over the kit lens. Are the distortions, and CA problems with either lens a wash? (ie not significantly different?) I can't afford L zooms so I'm trying to purchase better glass through a collection of primes. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camilla Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 One review of the lens is here: <p> http://194.100.88.243/petteri/pont/Reviews/d_Tokina_AT-X_17mm/a_Tokina_AT-X_17_mm.html </p><p> I had this lens myself for my 300D, and I think it was very good... in bright sunshine. The worst about the lens was the CA, which was as bad as the kit zoom. Sharpness and resolution was better than the kit zoom. In the end I didn't think it was worth it for me as it was not fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
