We're not currently impressed by the Tokina or Tamron equivalents in this range. Tokina opted for a system based on 18-50, 50-150, instead of the more mainstream 12-24,24-70,70-200. Tamron just can't see to get their anti-glare coatings as good as their competitors, leaving you with soft and fuzzy images wide open at f/2.8. You can get the best deal on the Sigma at Amazon.com, for $704 shipped (buy from Amazon, not a third-party vendor): I would also highly suggest a Hoya HMC (good) or S-HMC (better) UV filter for this (77mm thread size):

Camera manufacturers have become addicted to letters in recent years. This lens alone has all of the designations:
