[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 206595, member: 13090"] I've had opportunity to shoot with both of these lenses and from what I can tell the Tokina has better contrast than the Sigma but you pay for that because the Tokina is also more prone to CA (purple in particular) than the Sigma. I guess it's true... You can't have it both ways! Anyway, CA is really easy to correct in post processing so I don't really worry about it. Distortion is surprisingly well controlled with both lenses and is also easily corrected in post processing when it shows up, at least it is with Photoshop, so again, this isn't really much of anything to consider in my book. Both lenses are superbly sharp in the center but the Tokina is the sharper of the two if you go to full size crops and really start to examine the corners. That's not to say the Siggy *isn't* sharp in the corners, just that the Toki is sharp-ER in the corners. And again, that's at 100% and comparing shots side-by-side. Based on my experience, I think you'd be happy with either one. Neither lens is going to make or break you taking great landscapes, that's up to you. EDIT: This article seems to match my experiences pretty much exactly.
