Every commment I have heard about the Tokina 20-35/2.8 has it close to as good as the Nikon. I've been looking at one as well in the near future so I will be interested to see if anymore comments come up. >>I really need an answer on this one... >>Is the Tokina 20-35/2.8 any good? >>How does it compare to the Nikon prime 20/2.8 at the 20mm end, I know >>that a prime is a prime but a general direction... >>Bottom line - is the lens worth the price
