I have shot various Tokina, Canon, and Nikon ultra-wides over the years and this is my second time purchasing this particular lens (trying a different retailer this time). Still can't compare to others which sell for less. I gave it a second try because I really wanted that "10mm" on the wide end. But in A/B testing, over time, it looks like its image quality is just not on par with competing models (which also cost less). But if you shoot .JPG only, post to social media, and never pixel peep, then it should satisfy. This, after spending some time with it: for serious hobbyists, enthusiasts I would go for something else.
