I look forward to hearing your report on the Tokina. I've heard good things about it. Rather sad, though, when the so-called "Third tier" makers are producing lenses better than the first rank firms! For myself, I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that there is a DM-R in my future... though not likely for 6 months or so. It may have fewer pixels than the 5D, but I like what I see for results. I also like the idea of using the R8's finder... the finder on my 20D is no better than on my old R3! Besides, the 20D, at 8mp, makes fine 8x12 prints and very good 12x18" prints. I can count the prints I've made bigger than that, on the fingers of one hand... and that's in 40+ years! So, I'm confident that the 10mpixels of the DM-R will be quiet sufficient.
