I concur. The Tokina 11-16 is a great lens and looks really cool when shooting video. Ken Rockwell Does a good review - just search google for tokina 11-16 ken rockwell and you will find it.

Would also recommend warehouseexpress.com based in the UK for buying photo kit.

best of luck with it

the tokina is a nice lens (and fast @ 2.8!) but consider the newish sigma 8-16 for DX really wide!
