I have found a 24mm, and I am wondering if "wider is better"...  Because of
the price of the Tokina 28mm, I might just buy it to keep it, not a lot of
money..  For a few $$$ more, I can get a 24mm, and I'm just afraid that the
24mm will give me the same ho-hum performance the 28mm did...

Great pics!  WOW..  Mine from my Zuiko 28mm don't look anything close to
that.  Having the Tokina 90mm/f2.5 macro, which is by far my sharpest lens,
I am a Tokina fan...  Yeah, might just get one.
