I'd tend to agree, but corner to corner sharpness on par with the Nikon 14-24 is completely realistic.

Actually I'm in search for a nice tokina copy of 16-28. Heard it is as good or even better than canon's 16-35. I just happened to stumble upon a bad sample with tight zoom ring, focus decentering and back-focusing.

I seem to have a good copy. No centering issues and focus is accurate. Zoom is stiff and I would prefer an AF/MF switch. And don't point it anywhere near the sun.

The flare has me thinking of switching. The 16-35 starburst is awesome.
