The cropped image is absolutely untouched, straight from camera.

I've corrected the distortion only on the full image I took the crop from.

Every picture in post #1 is NOT corrected tho.

I'm using PTlens to correct the distortion and I still don't know if it does a good job. I couldn't say there's disortion in any picture, probably I need more straight lines in a pic to notice it.

Also, the Tokina 11-16 is for cropped sensors only, you can't mount it on a 5D mk II

I know. I personally use lightroom 3.2 and batch correct almost every picture. It makes a huge difference. Do some testing so you can figure out if your editor is doing a good job vs lightroom

Well don't blame the lens for not being sharp just look at the shutterspeeds

I have rather steady hands but I would never go below 1/8s when shooting at 10mm
Great shots though

I don't know about Tokina but Sigma lenses for crop cameras can be mounted on the 5D as you see here

Thanks everybody for the feedback!

Thanks mate, I will surely do that as soon as possible

Still I think I could have done a little better, that pic is a bit offset to the right and maybe not perfectly horizontal. There's always room for improvement!

I'd like to add a note about the Tokina. This is a 100% crop of the top right corner of a picture.
Now tell me it's not sharp

11 mm
f/11
1/3 second

Nice! Was it tripod mounted?

It seems like it can be sharper, i'm looking thru my own catalog as i think the tokina is capable of more
