Adorama/Tokina 11-16/Sigma 8-16

Now that Adorama seems to be shipping BMCC on a regular basis, have any of you “new” camera owners tried it with the Tokina 11-16? Is the infinity/flange issue gone?

Also, while the published web tests seem to indicate that the Tokina is generally sharper than the Sigma 8-16, what has been your real world experience?

The Sigma 8-16 is sharp as hell. Probably the softness people are seeing with it is diffraction in sunlight when you can't use an ND with it.

I can't speak for the tokina but using the camera myself with the Sigma and comparing it to my other lenses I feel the resolution of that lens and the chromatic aberration is far inferior to other lenses such as most of Canon's L series. Of course, it provides me with a fisheye on the BMCC which is a feat in and of itself and I don't know if there are really any other options for that. It's handy to have but I avoid it as much as possible unless I have no other choice when working on client work.

My Sigma 8-16 was very sharp. However one has to focus it just right for sharpness towards the edges.
