O.k., so we are talking about the Zuiko 24/2.8, well, I don't think you can
go very wrong with that one, it's a very nice lens! I used to use mine quite
a lot until I obtained a 24/2. The 24/2.8 still is a fine lens, though.

O.k., for that location, definitely go for the 24/2.8. Those redwoods are
TALL and the 24/2.8 has fine colour reproduction. Again, I can't comment on
the Tokina one, as I've never used it.

Cheers!
