[shoplink 19059 ebay]
[/shoplink] According to a new 43rumors source: “Tokina will introduce at PMA (CliQ) 2011 two autofocus lenses for the m4/3 mount. The first one will be a 17/2.0 or faster pancake. The second one will be a 8-16mm/3.5-4.5 or faster. Both lenses will feature internal focusing and a build quality similar to the excellent [shoplink 19059 ebay]Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8[/shoplink]. OIS and linear motor is under consideration as Tokina is out-sourcing, as usual, the technology to contractors. Price range is about 25% less than similar offerings from [shoplink 14798]Olympus (17/2.8)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 14822]Panasonic (7-14/4.0)[/shoplink].”

See and read the specs of the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 on [shoplink 19059 ebay]eBay[/shoplink] or Amazon.

P.S: Thanks to the anonymous source! I owe you a beer for that ;)
