"24mm performs well for grand views."
"The Canon 10-18 outshines both the Rokinon and the other lens in many ways."

Samyang

"The MF version is superb and the lack of AF hasn't hindered me on such a wide optic."
"No auto focus but no need for it; at that focal length, everything is sharp in most pictures."
"The manual version is priced at $279."

"Both versions of this lens, manual and autofocus, are excellent with crisp detail and wonderful color."
"Throwing in a vote for the 12mm Samyang."

"Look at the Sigma 10-18mm f2.8."
"Sigma 10-18 looks like it’d suit your needs."

"The Rokinon is better than the other lens but not as good as the Canon."
"I have had both of the Rokinon 12mm and found that they flare a lot."
