sorry for my porly english Yes, but.... Canon 18-55 is good, but without character, for me I have actually Tamron 11-18 i am really interested by the range 12-24 from Tokina to do other pictures with it, building, portrait and landscape and have only one (I hope) The very big disadvantage is the weight; 640gr My fear is, like a friend videowoman with a fisheye 10, if she cross a cloud, hes fisheye is with lots of fog I want no that, so I search history return about this lens. I think I found in a forum french, I am wait about. And I tell you after.
