hi Douglas,

Both beautiful wide images.
I had no doubt that the Tokina performs well; and didn't intend to  
suggest anything by my post.
You simply reminded me that I settled on keeping the 20D "because" of  
the 10 -22.
In fact at some point I may actually upgrade to a used 30D or 40D  
just for that lens.

Fond regards,
George
