Sigma 10-20: not sharp, some flare issues
Tokina 11-16: limited range, some really big flare issues
Canon 10-22: price is absurd, build quality is much worse than the previous 2

I'm partial to the 10-20/10-22 because of the extended focal length compared to the Tokina, plus the difference between 10 and 11mm is significant imo. I'm expecting a fairly good tax return, so hopefully money won't be an issue when I need to purchase a UWA.

Any thoughts?

I have the 10-22 and have to agree that it is a little on the softer side wide open, I got mine for about $600 pretty much brand new so I can't complain too much. Otherwise I would've spend my money on the Tokina.

I do love my Canon 10-22 on my crop though. It's definitely one of my most fun lens. I rarely find the need for anything faster than f4.
