I like many aspects of the Tokina ATX-M 11–18 mm f/2.8 E. First of all it is very sharp in the frame centre.

The Tokina 11 to 18 sounds good. It is good, but not perfect with everything.

If you are looking for a very solid ultra wide zoom for your X-mount camera, I can definitely recommend this one.
