I'm in the market for a wide angle zoom lens (somthing about 18mm+). I'd really appreciate anyone's opinions on these three inparticular -

I've only personally used Canon SLR lenses and I'm not farmilliar with the quality of tamron, sigma or tokina lenses. If anyone could help on this subject it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

I want to pick up that Sigma 10-20 as well. I've seen some pics online taken with it and they look great.

The sharpness edge to edge and the low CA are big issues for me. I am waiting for Sigma to make the lens compatible with the nikon D200.
