The two lenses are about the same price, and I wonder about the wisdom of buying two copies of the same lens. If the 8-16 mm compares well with the 12-24 mm, then I'm drawn to the shiny 8mm.

Cheers
Mike

The Tokina 12-24 is essentially the same lens as the Pentax 12-24, both are very good.

Hi-

I was looking at Pentax's 12-24, when i stumbled across this one.
Anyone own or use Sigma's 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM?
Online reviews tend to rave about its sharpness. And I saw a couple of posts about "getting a good copy"- suggesting QC problems. Shocking- QC problems at Sigma...

I've been really happy with a Tokina 12-24mm for my Canon. It's about time for the Pentax to catch up.

I've pretty much decided to get a K-5, and a lens or two. I think this will fill out the wide end of things. And maybe a 40ish or 70ish Limited.

Thanks
Mike
