[LRflex] Re: Test shot Tokina Wide Zoom 12-24

Douglas, I have had this lens for a few months and very much like it.  It is 
one of my favorite lenses now for the 20D.  It doesn't hunt a bit for focus 
in low light situations but then just pull the focus ring to disengage the 
motor and focus manually.  I think the build quality and optical quality is 
first rate for a third party manufacturer.
