Wide angle zoom lens for a crop body camera?

13 years 5 months ago #5242 by Weston
I'm looking at a few different lenses and would like to get some addition input/recommendations.

I have found these wide angle zoom lenses that are crop body:

1. Nikon 12-24mm
2. Tokina 12-24mm
3. Sigma 10-20mm

Which of these lenses is optically the best? Or is there one I missed?

I have the Nikon 12-24mm and think this is a great lens. I did own the Sigma 10-20mm for a few months but sold that to get the 12-24mm. The Sigma was a great lens, I was able to find a killer deal on the Nikon lens so I made the switch.

I picked up the Nikon 10-24, then sold my Tokina 12-24 which was a fine lens. I found the Nikon that much better, and it should be at twice the price......;)

Why so serious?
