Tokina 11-16 vs Oly 12mm

[filmguy123]

Thoughts?

All I can know is this:

* Tokina's mount will work better on other cameras with a bigger sensor in the future
* Tokina goes a bit wider and gives some more options for how wide

* Oly has great auto-focus and is faster

Other thoughts on quality, sharpness, distortion, etc?

The oly is gorgeous and better for low light and camera controllable. I have af100 and gh2. I primarily use the oly for low light, slider and gh2 stabilizer use. The 11-16 is more versatile for focal length, though has no camera aperture control. Both are very sharp.

Will you be exclusively using M4/3 cameras in the future?

For what it's worth, the only native M4/3 lens I own is the 14-140.
Every other lens I own covers S35.

The 11-16 is one lens I want. But I would want the Moded PL version and thats why I don’t have it. Yet.

A must to have the Tok 11-16
