I have the Tokina and it is a stunningly awesome lens, as is the 28-85 (and
any other AT-X Series lens that they came out with, IMHO). Vivitar makes a
17-28 that I have seen on eBay several times as well as Olympus Guy's site:
http://www.olympusguy.com/NewLArt11.htm . That is my impression only, no
other data available!
Happy Hunting!
