Hm. I somewhat doubt it, but speculation is endless... I have tested the Tokina, and it is as most Tokinas. Mechanically excellent, optically so so. I wanted to buy it but now I don't know... the lens was not really critically sharp. Not bad but not comparable to say excellent 28-70/2.6-2.8 zoom. I will try few more and see if there's a difference. Good light! fra
