any body ever have both canon and tokina lens? which one is better in image quality and overall performance?
i once had a canon 450d and 18-55mm kit lens... and was able to get decent pictures... now i'm using a nikon body and have 2 tokina lenses...
did some research, read a lot of reviews, and decided to get TOKINA over sigma and tamron... (found out also that Tokina engineers were previously Nikon employees)
a Canon 70 200 2.8 will definitely be better than a Tokina 50-135 2.8.... but if you are in a tight budget, i'd go for a Tokina any day... some will go for a Tamron or a Sigma...
at the end of the day, what will matter is the picture you took... that's where everything comes in... creativity, correct exposure, composition, framing, etc...
i'd get Nikkor lenses if i have the money....
here is my first dslr shot 450d and 18-55mm
