Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f2.0 or Tokina 11-16mm

[Sparky874]

Hi there. I have the Tokina 11-16mm, but was wondering how the Olympus 12mm compared to it. I can't really find any footage shot with it on the 101. Has anyone any experience with it and could any post some good examples of it? Looks like a nice solid lens (shame about the colour!) and could be a bit of a dark horse. Thanks!

Unless you NEED that extra stop of f/2, the Tokina is a great lens, and would be a little more versital than the 12mm prime. I know I hardly ever use my tokina at 11-12mm, and usually use it at 15mm-16mm range, so it is nice to have the options, plus it covers larger sensors, giving you more options when it comes to future cameras. Anyway, the Tokina gives you more options and is a great lens, that said, f/2 is nice, but f/2.8 is not shabby either.
