>From comments I've read on this list it appears that the Tamron is probably
a better lens although I've had no way to compare. I bought the 16mm Zuiko
so no longer need the Tokina. Will sell it for $140 to a list member. This
one is in nice condition but I have not used it enough to really know how
well it performs. The VAT is a tough thing to cope with and seems to be a
messy tax to administer. /jim

It's now on my 'suspect' list Jim...... but we have the dreaded UK VAT and
import duties to add :-(
