Hi Greg! and Welcome to our (once little not so little any more) forum...

I have no experience with the Tonika but have played with both the Sigma and Nikkor...

After posting a bit on these forums and opening some of your images to critique you will hear how much we like one HK trader in particular

Oh and noticing you are in Sydney you should get along to one of the Minimeets

HK is probably not the best source for the Tokina. They seem to retail for approx. the same as the Sigma 12-24 - whereas in other markets (namely the US) the Tokina is fractionally cheaper.

So far no recommendations for HK Ebay traders?

MHD - What is a minimeet? I thought he was the bald guy on Austin Powers?

Onyx - Wouldnt the US shipping make your suggestion too expensive?

Minimeets are where a bunch of users get together and play show and tell with camera gear do a search on the forums to find out
