I wish there was an updated Tokina version. The detachable hood is a good idea - people have been shaving hoods off the stock Tokina lenses to get them to run on FF/1.3x, and there's even a factory-modified version out there. My wife's 10-17 (non-shaved) works well on an 1D body from 12mm but it's clear that I could've gone wider - probably even down to 10mm - if the petals hadn't shown up in the frame.
Well since this is a Pentax design and Tokina isn't in bed with them anymore, I hope someone else can take the cue (Sigma I'm looking at you) and produce a similar lens but with detachable hood and modern haptics.
