Do you find it to be a bother not being able to attach any filters, though? Your shots are great, and they really convince me that this lens is a nice and sharp one. I am still quite undecided, but it seems it is going to be between the Sigma and the Tokina. I like the f2.8 on the Tokina ....; and thanks for your input

For Canon I have the 16-35 2.8 L lens and so in love with it. I also have a Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 for when I want something a bit wider but since I bought the Canon lens I do not think I have used the Sigma but I rarely need something that wide and it just a personal preference for me.

EDIT: The Sigma I really liked until I bought the Canon and would recommend it for the optics quality and price.

I have the 12-24 f4 on a D300 and can't see much benefit in going any wider myself. I think a lens would depend on what shooting you presently do and what you want to expand to. Different cameras will effect the results to some extent. The lenses listed might be better for you to evaluate if you had examples to see. You have an advantage there. You can hit TCS and for $25 you can test out a couple of wide angle lenses. Pick what's right for you.

Not much of a filter guy, you could hold up a large lee or other resin filter by hand in front if you have a tripod.
