Tokina has announced the release of it's AT-X 16-28 f2.8 Pro FX lens. The full frame lens features a new AF system and a weather-sealed body. Third parties are really starting to get it, each year Tokina and Sigma release better and better glass. Even Tamron is becoming a key player. Of course, this will be reflected in the price. The 16-28 will begin shipping this Fall with a $1400USD price tag, which is about $49 cheaper than the Canon 16-35 II [however $450 cheaper than the Nikon 17-35]. An obvious advantage to the Canon would be the extra 7mm of reach, this is a big deal on short focal lengths. It will be interesting to see how these do in the market.
