Tokina is displaying two lenses they have already shown earlier this year at the CP+ shows. The 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX (APS-C) aspherical SD (IF) lens, and the AT-X 24-70mm f/2.8 PRO FX (Full-frame) aspherical SD (IF) lens. These lenses feature SD technology – Super Low Dispersion – designed to reduce chromatic aberrations. The lenses also feature internal focus (IF). (Source: ePhotozine)
Sony is shareholder of Tokina so I guess theses will be available in A-mount versions too!

It would be interesting to know from when the 11-20 is “full frame”.
The 11-16 was it from 14.5mm.
Probably this lens will work FF from 11 to 14 as well. It is what made the 12-24 and 11-16 interesting choices for both formats.
“Sony is shareholder of Tokina so I guess theses will be available in A-mount versions too!”
Sorry, but that means nothing. Every single Tokina lens except for the 11-16/2.8 are NOT available for A-mount. And I expect these wont be either.
the 12/24/4 is too, some of the past where as well like the 70-200/2.8, the 20-35/2.8. The question is if they will continue issuing a-mount. Sigma has many interesting lenses that are not issued in a-mount as well. There 30-1.4 A is a real hammer.
These are obviously for Canon and Nikon DSLR, but you should mention the mount !
Tokina has left the A-mount I believed. It will be for CaNikon only.
This.
Tokina does no lenses in FF for A-mount, only aps-c lenses, the 11-20 will probably among them. It can be that they drop the 11-16 to replace it by this new one.
Is the 24-70 really internal-focusing? This would be great if true and available in a-mount!

Well Sony is a shareholder of Sony, and they just released a Zeiss 35mm for E-Mount and not for A-Mount.
So, doesn’t mean anything 🙁
Are you sure you aren’t thinking of Tamron? Pretty sure Sony aren’t a major shareholder in Tokina unless it was to keep them OUT of A-Mount.
If they are, it’s surprising that the only lenses they make for a-mount are the 11-16 and the 11-16ii…
Isn’t that 24-70 going to cost more than the Tamron and not offer VC/VR? What’s the point?
Own the 24-70mm Tamron. Other than some distortion issues wide it’s pretty impressive. Hard to beat for the price.
Just ordered it today!
I have Tokina 11-16/2.8 and it is THE best wide angle lens for SONY. I used almost all others. Will 11-20 be released for A mount?
I did not buy the 11-16 due to close zoom range. The 11-20 can be a better option, let’s wait to see if it is as sharp as the 11-16.
but A mount is dead.
James Brown too.
Yeah!! Waiting for the cheap 11-16 on Ebay 😀
Why not for e-mount?
