Okay, Canonites ... the word out there is:

TAMRON SP AF 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di-II LD (Canon-mount)

41535

Okay, who's got one and what is it like?

Compare and contrast ... and most of all, be honest. This is a very hot UWA lens.

The Ultra wide market is already saturated with great lenses in that range what makes this one stand out?

The range, I guess. I dunno. I don't think an extra 2mm on the front end (vs the Canon 10-22) is anything worth oozing and ahhzing over. Either way it doesn't have HSM/USM.

I suppose it'll win on price, like other Tamron glass.

i kinda have my eye on the tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. then again, i also have my eye on a lot of stuff.

Agreed.

The only new UWA that offers anything really unique is the new Tokina 11-16 f/2.8.

We'll see how the reviews turn out vs the price point, but the Canon 10-22 is a very nice lens. And if I was trying to save a few bucks I'd go with the Tokina 12-24 - its 2mm less on the wide end, but I find that 12mm on 1.6X crop is wide enough for most shots.
