davidmanze, misinformation is your tool so you know it well.
Again, this is a Pentax lens; there will be a Tokina Opera but Ricoh Imaging was heavily involved into both its optical and mechanical design:

Mr. Masakazu Saori - by the way - is the leading optical designer for the D FA* 70-200.
I'm seeing no information that Tokina did anything at all (which doesn't mean they didn't; just to put things in perspective).
You're wrong about Hoya, too - the past Pentax-Tokina collaboration was between Pentax Corporation and Tokina. All but one of those lenses were Pentax designs. All * lenses to date were developed by Pentax.
So history should make you believe that the new 50mm is likely a Pentax design, too.
I'm sure you'll forget all the information I'm giving you and continue with your "Pentax is bad" mantra.
