Am I wrong or I have really seen that the Tokina 17mm is the same lens as the (late) Sigma 18mm f/3.5 and the Spiratone 18mm f/3.5. I have this last lens (Pluracoat multicoated) in PK mounts, very sturdy metal construction indeed. It looks identical to the Tokina sold by B & H. I have not tried it though.
