Cons: Heavy distortion @ 19mm. Edges soft. CA. Slow, almost useless range for indoor use. Huge front element (77mm) means expensive filters. Horrible flare control. Hood is wide. Focus throw too short for comfortable MF.
Pros: Sharpness rivals Pentax DA 16-45mm. Good color & contrast - not overdone like on many newer digital-design lenses. Distortion minimal by 23mm. Good build quality for an inexpensive lens. Has distance scale.
Summary: I have the Promaster version of this lens. Same optical formula as the Tokina (although I have heard that there is also a Tokina 19-35 based on a 20-35 design). Only significant difference is the Promaster has 7 aperture blades rather than 6. I bought mine in truly mint condition for $65 on the big auction site. It took me a little while to warm up to the lens, but I've grown to appreciate it's strengths. I use it almost exclusively for landscapes; it has limited usefulness indoors due to it's short range and slow aperture. For near-focus work it's not better than the Pentax 18-55 mkII kit lens anyway. For outdoor work, though, it's pretty good. I like the slightly muted, almost film-era tones. Contrast is good, not overdone. Sharpness - that is, resolving power - is fairly similar to the Pentax DA 16-45mm, although the DA 16-45mm has better microcontrast. Barrel distortion (with a tough of mustache thrown in) can be very noticeable @ 19mm; PTLens plugin takes care of that. Distortion is nearly gone by 23mm. Even stopped down, edge sharpness never matches center sharpness, which surprised me a bit considering I'm using a FF lens on APS-C. Overall, a decent budget lens for landscape work, certainly sharper than the Pentax & Canon kit offerings. If you can get it for around the same price I did, it's a very good deal.

Cons: Not an especially useful zoom range for APS-C cameras. Not the last word in sharpness. Subject to flare
Pros: Excellent build quality Lovely solid feel Consistently competent results Useful zoom range for FF cameras Ridiculously cheap
Summary: Extraordinary value. Built like a battleship. Might make a start-up full frame camera/lens combination manageably affordable.
