Tokina 11-16 f2.8

Just ordered a Tokina 11-16 in a Canon mount from B&H @ $599 to go with my Tokina 16-50 f2.8. They're back in stock.

Thanks, that's been sitting in my B&H wishlist!

Has anyone thought about this lens (Rokinon 14mm) as an alternative? It is cheaper, and I think full frame. I'm not sure if it is fish eye or not.... I think maybe on a crop it is minimal, but I'm not sure. I'm just wondering because the price is better.

From what I've seen in picture samples, the Rokinon has a lot of barrel distortion.

The Rokinon is the Samyang. You can lookup the reviews for the Samyang 14/2.8, it seems pretty good. The Samyang 14/2.8 is not a fisheye.

I should add that barrel distortion appears to be an issue on full frame. Maybe not on a crop sensor.
Lens is fully manual (no autofocus for stills).
