New Tokina AT-X 11-16 f/2.8 PRO DX Ⅱ lens announced

Tokina just announced a new version of their popular 11-16mm f/2.8 lens. The new lens will have an aspherical element, new coating for improved performance and a SD-M (Silent Drive-Module) autofocus motor (AF-S equivalent) and US price of $669. You can now use this lens even with Nikon DSLR cameras that don’t have an integrated AF motor (D3100, D5100). The Nikon version is expected to start shipping in March, 2012.
