"What will be interesting is seeing if there are Tokina equivalents or if Pentax is back to designing their own glass again." Pentax has been designing all along. Of the joint lenses, only the 12-24 was designed by Tokina. Pentax designed all the others. What is surprising is that Pentax dropped their plans to bring out a DA version of Tokina's 11-16 F2.8. It is an excellent design, and I'd gladly swap 1 mm of focal length for that extra stop. Can anyone calculate how large (diameter) the front element of the DA* 20 F2 will be? This lens will have to be larger than the FA 20 F2.8. Sigma's 20 F1.8 takes, IIRC, an 82 mm filter. So this will probably take a 77 mm. filter.
