Sample Shots
Here're some sample shots taken with the 350D (all converted RAWs via RSE) - all images kindly provided by Daniel Flinkmann. Please note that RSE applies some degree of automatic CA correction. You may notice that Daniel's
sample appears to be a little bit softer on the far left side of the image field.

Verdict
The Tokina AF 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX is currently the best ultra-wide angle zoom lens for
Canon EOS APS-C DSLRs. The resolution is impressively high throughout the zoom range (albeit
a short one) and across the image field. Vignetting is really only a problem at 11mm @ f/2.8 but
otherwise the issue is very well controlled. The level of distortions is comparatively low.
Typical for most Tokina lenses it has one weakness: lateral CAs which are very high at all settings.
The build quality is on a very high level and its a joy to handle the lens out there. All-in-all a
very sound package especially when considering the quite affordable price (around 600EUR/US$).
