This Tokina Opera 16-28mm f/2.8 ($699 at Adorama, B&H and Amazon) lens review is by Christophe Anagnostopoulos, Global Ambassador of Tokina & Hoya, (Website | Vimeo | Facebook | IMDB):
*Please note that at the time of writing this review, Adobe hasn’t released a lens profile for Tokina Opera 16-28mm F/2.8*
It is early March and along with the arrival of spring, the Milky Way season for 2019 just started and the timing couldn’t be better for the release of the new Tokina Opera 16-28mm lens, an ultra wide-angle Full Frame lens with a constant F/2.8 aperture over its entire focal length range.
Tokina had always a superb reputation among photographers not only for the exceptional build quality of its products but also for the magnificent wide angle lenses it produced, and the new Tokina Opera 16-28mm F/2.8 is continuing this tradition with its excellent performance and quality.
The new Tokina Opera 16-28mm F/2.8 is the second lens in the premium Opera series lineup for high-end DSLR users, following the first Opera 50mm F/1.4 lens which was released a few months ago, and this wide angle lens is coming at a very competitive price for Nikon F and Canon EF mounts.
A new Zeiss Otus 100mm f/1.4 lens has been rumored since August last year and the specifications just leaked online:
Update: the US Price of the lens will be $4,990.
Lexar announced that it will be showcasing their new Professional CFexperess 2.0 Type B memory card at the 2019 NAB in Las Vegas.

I could not find a press release or any additional information, except this quote from Kevin Kilbuck, Lexar VP of Business Development:
