Need a zoom lens

I highly recommend the Tokina 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8 AT-X Pro II lens. I just purchased a nikon mount version of this lens and couldn't be happier. The lens features manual aperture, the lens does not extend while zooming and focusing, and it also holds it's focus while zooming. The best part is that they can be found on the used market for around $300.00.

There are newer versions of this lens, but be sure to find the f/2.6-2.8 version. This version features superior optics and performance over the newer versions of this lens.

You can find a lab test/review of this lens here: http://www.photozone.de/canon-eos/276-tokina-af-28-70mm-f28-26-at-x-pro-ii-lab-test-report--review

My question is... will 28mm wide enough?
Since it is run n gun, you won't have much time and space to run back a couple feet to get the shot. Other than that, $300 is a great price.

I bought this lens from someone on the Marketplace forum. It's on my AF100 now via the Metabones Nikon to PL mount adaptor. I just shot with it on Friday. Overall, it's a great mid focal length zoom.

Here is a video

I shot it with the 18-50 red and a set of Zeiss standard speed 2.1 PL lenses 16 through 85.
For the fisheye shots I had a century adapter on the front of the 16

I felt they cut together well.

As far as getting what you pay for I purchased my 18-50 used and its the best lens I own that cost me less than $3000.00

Where did you get that century fish eye adaptor? have a set of Zeiss standard speeds I might be looking for wide angle adapters for.
