No need to expect, it's already arrived and in stock at B&H, (as well as
other fine retailers).

The Tokina lens is not available, but there's a Pentax branded lens
that's said to be virtually identical. Some say it differs only in
coatings. It's more costly but considerably less expensive than Canon
and Nikon 24/70s.
I expect that it is also weather sealed and may have the Pentax HD
coatings.

I don't think the Tokina 24-70/2.8 is or was available in a Pentax
mount.
I had the Tokina 28-70/2.8 ATX-Pro, and I loved it.
It is unfortunately unusable now because the contact that tells the
camera body it's locked in the 'A' position is worn& cannot be
repaired. This is the lens I dropped& broke in 2004, that Tokina
repaired under warranty even though I told them I had purchased it
second hand from KEH.
It was my workhorse lens for almost 10 years.
I would buy another in a heartbeat if I ever find one. I'd also
consider
the 28-80/2.8 if I ran across it.
I now have the comparable Sigma 24-70/2.8.
The only thing I don't like about it is the 28-70/2.8 was internal
focus/internal zoom& didn't change length. Looking at the Tokina
24-70/2.8, it looks like it does the same thing.

What’s the consensus on this lens? That’s a focal length I’m going to
need, but i haven’t read much about it.
