Tokina has announced the shipment of the AT-X 12-28 F4 PRO DX lens for Nikon from April 2013; the Canon version will release in June 2013.
Announced at the CP+ 2013 tradeshow, the lens is a replacement for the company’s existing 12-24mm F4 wide angle zoom for APS-C cameras. But rather than making the lens wider to match its competitors, Tokina has chosen to extend it further into the ‘normal’ range, to give an 18-42mm equivalent zoom. Priced at ¥90,000, it is the same as the existing AT-X Pro DX 12-24mm F4 II lens.
