i know 400 DO is an excellent lens but i still want to complete my IS collection. I have 300IS/500IS/600IS and sigma 800mm. Only missing 400 f/2.8 IS.

Tokina 11-16 vs. Sigma 10-20 vs. Sigma 10mm fisheye

Got the Tokina 11-16 and Sigma 10mm fisheye yesterday, along with my Gary Fong clear lightsphere and Oragami, Kata DR-465 rucksack (backpack), and some other gear...

A comparison of how much can be it into their shortest focal lengths. Look at how much more you get from the Sigma 10-20's 10mm than the Tokina 11-16's 11mm. And you get even more into the frame going from 10mm rectilinear to 10mm fisheye!

Oh btw, if Tokina made image stabilized lenses, all my lenses would be Tokina. This thing is my best built lens yet... but it's not saying much as I don't have L lenses. I love the finish. The rings are tight. The hood has the crinkle finish unlike the canon consumer hoods which scratch easily.

Olympus just released the press release on the E-520. I've made up my mind... I'm gonna go four-thirds. Sensor stabilization means every lens I slap on there will be insured to some degree for shake, which means non-IS lenses will be better on the wallet. 2x crop factor means I can get a 500mm lens, and get a 1000mm effective zoom, and I don't lose a f/stop due to extenders. Small size means I can bring it everywhere. Pancake lenses mean I get to trip over the tech. I'm gonna get one.
