I wouldn't be surprised if it's a Tokina design, but Tokina does pretty good wide-angled stuff. With Pentax QA, and sealed with SDM, a DA* 11-16 f2.8 SDM would rock. Pentax will likely announce it in January if they're going to do a version of this lens. -Adam ----- Tokina has brought out nothing new since the 12-24. All of the other joint lenses have been Pentax optical designs. I've been wondering what Tokina's optical engineer(s?) have been doing. This lens may be the answer.
