Nothing definative yet... Looking at all 3 primary 3rd party (Tamron, Tokina & Sigma)
Looking in the 10-12mm to 16-20mm range.

Have not done near the homework yet.... but
Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM
Tokina AT-X 11-16 PRO DX (NO AF Motor and I have a 5100)
Tamron SP 10-24MM F/3.5-4.5 Di II LD Aspherical IF
Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM

Just some that I have looked at... need to read some real reviews comparisons etc and then see what the folks here use for DX.

Do you use Over a million full-size sample photos from SLR and mirrorless cameras combined with different lenses I think its helpfull to see how the pictures look with the different lenses. And also this site: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Lens Image Quality where you get an idea about the sharpness.

Let us know when you decide :)

pat, take a look at a sigma 10-20mm 4-5.6 dc hsm. Sits on one of my 5100's, took me awhile to get comfortable with the wide angle. $479 @ b & h. Thom hogan has a review.

wud, congrats on the new Sigma, I'm sure you'll love it!

Sorry to the OP for the continued hijack....... Pat you might also consider the Tokina 12-24 AT-X Pro f4, good deals on B&H for that lens as well. Just got mine yesterday...... it's a whole new world at 12mm :D This thing is tack sharp.

Well as long as hijacking is allowed. . . LOL. . . I love my Sigma 10-20mm. I've had it for almost 6 years (through a D70s and a D300) and it has been rock solid. I created this pano last night of 5 images I captured a couple weeks ago in Lisbon.
