<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"]I bought one about four years ago where
I felt it was a decent lens with a solid feel but my copy was on the
soft side. I even returned it where they swapped it out but again I
thought the performance was marginal once I got it back. The way I
look at it now after doing photography full time for 6 years is to
save your money and just buy the best product available which are the
Canon lenses. Canon has the best resale value where you might
pay more up front but the overall return is well worth it. When
I first started I tried Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina where they just
don't match up to the overall package that you get with Canon or
Nikon. I ended up writing a less then stellar review of the
Tokina lens on the Amazon website back then where I took a lot of
heat from a few other customers/owners that swore the Tokina was the
greatest lens since the invention of the microwave. My advice
again is to save your money and buy the Canon 10-22mm. This is the
best lens along with the Sigma 10-20mm version which exhibits a
better and more solid feel then the Canon.
