[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 17798, member: 16"] First off, what strikes me is that you give a lot of credit to the PZ reviews. I would look at the least 2 other lens reviews on the lenses you're interested in, to get an average review. Putting all your faith in one review source does not seem prudent to me. Just my opinion. Secondly..........trust your instincts! If the Sigma or Tokina lens feels right to you, and does the job, then go for it. Don't get too hung up on all the technicalities of a particular lens. Unless you make your living taking photographs, and every shot has to be dead on perfect in order to get paid, I'd go with the lens that gives you the results you're after. In short, spend more time actually taking pictures, instead of worrying about how much CA or distortion there is. Honestly.....will any of your friends or colleagues notice, or will they marvel instead at the fantastic shot you took? :) Anyway, that's how I feel about it, and all of the above are MY thoughts on the subject.
