Wide Lens for Crop Sensor?

[Sklar]

Is the Tokina 11-16 still the best wide angle for crop sensors?

I've been shaking up the camera kit for the first time in a while and haven't stayed in the loop on crop body glass at all, now I have one again.

When I had my 7D Mk II I just used a 16-35 2.8 L II, worked fine for me, not super wide though, but it was enough for me. I used a Canon 10-24 before. Here's an example at 16mm.

tokina is definitely better than both those

Meh, the canon 16-35 is a superb lens, just vert expensive and built for full frame.

Tokina has a 11-20 now. No idea how good it is, but the 11-16 is the best because of the f2.8, fast and wide. The 12-24 gets alot of hype these days, as does the sigma 18-35 1.8

I have a 17-40 and 15 fish right now, so I definitely want to go wider than the 18-35, although it does look nice.

I think I'll probably sell the 17-40 and 15 fish (RIP), and pick up an 11-16 and 35.

Buy yourself a new fish, they're cheap as hell.

Yeah i suppose they work great for video, higher res might be an issue.

They're supposed to be bad bro!!!! It's called ~ s t y l e ~ look it up.

The Rokinon/Samyang 12mm is damn good at f/2.5 and above.

Tokina 11-20 f/2.8 is newer. I definitely love it. More than half my ski photos are shot with it. Unbelievably sharp at 11mm @ 2.8, and of course when you stop it down it just gets better. Not sure how it compares price wise to the 11-16 but I absolutely love it.

Right. I have no experience adapting Nikon G to EOS but you could look into just getting a Novoflex adapter or something? The cheap fisheyes from Rokinon etc don't have autofocus anyway. Probably worth it if you're really into fisheyes, I always loved my 10.5mm and they're pretty cheap these days.
