Tokina is a great lens. It's sharp, 9 aperture blades which means you get some really awesome "starbursts", f2.8 and most importantly it's cheaper than Canon's 10-22

Better than Canon's?

Well said. Better build quality also!

Shots taken off a friend's balcony. C&C welcome.

Both are exceptional, however, I'm not a fan of that (dust spot?) on the top left of the sky in the 1st shot.

Owner of a Tokina 11-16 here, i can definitely vouch for it! Build quality is excellent, sharpness, AF etc. Only thing i hate about it is that it flares very easily.

Hard to use my lee filter kit on it : /

It might be time for a sensor cleaning.

Yes, I have heard that the 10-22 is a lot better with flaring.
