(SR5) New Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for Sony Alpha mount!
It’s fine to start the new week with good news! Tokina will launch the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for Sony Alpha mount! Expected release in Japan on February 24. This lens is designed for APS-C sensors. Filter size is 77mm. Body size is 84.1 × 96mm (maximum diameter × length). Weight is 560g.
The price should be something around $630.00. Amazon has the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for Nikon in Stock for $627.00
A review of the lens on a Canon camera is available here at photozone (it performs very very good!).

February 1, 2010 |That is good news! Now if we can only get their Kenko division to re-release the Alpha mount extension tubes… they were the last GOOD extension tubes available until Sony gets it together.

March 3, 2010 |I just saw on Adorama that this lens will be available in 60 days or in early May. Here’s the link: http://www.adorama.com/alc/news/Tokina-11-16mm-f28-lens-in-Sony-mount
It also says it’s not for Full Frame sensor which I assume means that it won’t work on the 850 or 900 not just that the crop factor is different.
