I just bought this Bower wide angle conversion lens. Cost like twenny bucks. I plan to use for star trails and landscapes too. It's a bit shit but you should buy one too OP, so we can be mediocre Bower-buddies™ :[

Fisheyes are shit.

And rectilinear super wides are usually zooms.
Probably because they require loads of elements anyways.

Not a superwide.

Why would you want a prime anyways?

Get the Sigma, Tokina is even worse than Sigma.
If you want soft corners and chromabs then get the Tokina.
You will get them as well with Sigma but much less.

I owned this lens for about 2 weeks and immediately sold it for the tokina. Its not horrible but its too slow for my needs.

if your doing stars the f4 isnt good.

the tokina is faster, sharper, and it will work on foolframe at 16mm.

its a very solid lens.

personally i think older sigma lenses are kind of shit. the optics are fine but there auto focus likes to stop working.

My tokina 11-16 arrived yesterday. Very nice lens. Solid build quality and good optical quality. Can't go wrong for £300.

I bought the Tokina a month ago and will take my first night shots tomorrow.

It's surprisingly sharp even at 2.8 which is awesome.
Only 2 (easily fixable) problems things you should know about the lens:
>chromatic aberrations out the ass: correct every pic in lightroom or regret it
>very easy to get lensflares, even from moonlight
