I don't think the Tokina 24-70/2.8 is or was available in a Pentax mount.
I had the Tokina 28-70/2.8 ATX-Pro, and I loved it. It is unfortunately unusable now because the contact that tells the camera body it's locked in the 'A' position is worn & cannot be repaired. This is the lens I dropped & broke in 2004, that Tokina repaired under warranty even though I told them I had purchased it second hand from KEH. It was my workhorse lens for almost 10 years. I would buy another in a heartbeat if I ever find one. I'd also consider the 28-80/2.8 if I ran across it. I now have the comparable Sigma 24-70/2.8. The only thing I don't like about it is the 28-70/2.8 was internal focus/internal zoom & didn't change length. Looking at the Tokina 24-70/2.8, it looks like it does the same thing.

What’s the consensus on this lens? That’s a focal length I’m going to need, but i haven’t read much about it. Paul
