Just wondering what you guys think about the 10-18? is it built good? is it worth the price? is it ok at night because it is 4.5 wide open? is it worth the extra $150 or so for the tokina 11-16?

tokina 11-16 is a better option

build quality is much better

larger aperture- 2.8 instead of a 4.5-5.6 . And its a constant aperture which is nice

read this

kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/10-18mm.htm

also the tokina 11-16 is discontinued and is now replaced by tokina 11-20 which is the same specs just longer focal length. so just get a cheap/used tokina 11-16 for the same price as the crappy canon 10-18

Did you just genuinely link to Kenny?

I mean I agree on the Tokina part, but Kenny's site and ever-growing family should only be used as very detailed spec sheet, or for a good chuckle.
