Tokina Opera 16-28mm f/2.8 in development - Klaus - 09-28-2018 https://nikonrumors.com/2018/09/27/tokina-opera-16-28mm-f-2-8-full-frame-dslr-lens-for-nikon-f-mount.aspx/ RE: Tokina Opera 16-28mm f/2.8 in development - toni-a - 09-28-2018 They already have a very good 16-28f2.8 what's new about this one?? Already protruding front element and limited range were drawbacks of previous model, why keeping them ??? RE: Tokina Opera 16-28mm f/2.8 in development - Brightcolours - 09-28-2018 Obviously this will be a Pentax + Tokina collaboration. So gone will be the clunky Tokina AF implementation. RE: Tokina Opera 16-28mm f/2.8 in development - davidmanze - 09-28-2018 It's not on the Pentax roadmap....and I think this would be a step too far for them.... I think Tokina are going it alone maybe having picked up hints and tips from the 50mm F1.4 en route! RE: Tokina Opera 16-28mm f/2.8 in development - JJ_SO - 09-28-2018 Pentax already has the Tamron 15-30 G1 type - I don't see any point in going Tokina with a smaller range. RE: Tokina Opera 16-28mm f/2.8 in development - borisbg - 09-28-2018 If the new version can address the weak performance at the wide end, then why not?

So gone will be the clunky Tokina AF implementation.The pictures so far seem to suggest otherwise. Which is a little mindboggling - if they can implement a decent modern focusing mechanism (motor + haptics) in the 50mm what's keeping them from doing likewise with the 16-28? RE: Tokina Opera 16-28mm f/2.8 in development - JJ_SO - 10-02-2018 Maybe they had 5 pieces left from the last "series" and dind't want to throw them away? Or Pentax was unwilling to buy all? RE: Tokina Opera 16-28mm f/2.8 in development - Rover - 10-02-2018 Hah, if only - the "Opera" version seems to have the new focus ring pattern but... with the familiar clutch underneath! WTF.
