The tokina is probably not a very good lens, but you need to compare it to a Sigma 28-200 (about $75-80 on eBay). I'm not sure of the specs for each lens, I'll leave that as an exercise for the student.

I have a Sigma and here are my notes:

Not bad for snapshots.
Poor low light focusing.
Stiff zoom ring (this seems to be a common problem with Sigma).
Light (as in not heavy)
