Tokina 70-200 f/4.0, Now available for preorder
Tokina's answer to the Nikon 70-200, the Tokina AT-X 70-200 f/4.0 PRO FX VCM-S lens is now available for $1,099 ($300 less than Nikon version) and features three SLD elements, multi-layer coatings, and VCM image stabilization. Reserve your copy here.
The Tokina 70-200 looks interesting, I've been waiting for a tele from them for a long time. I'd be much more excited about a 2.8, but it'll probably be worth a look at the least.
Wish I lived in the US :D
