28.02.2018/XNUMX/XNUMX was submitted Tokina Opera 50mm F1.4 FF lens.
Tokina Opera 50mm F1.4 FF is a full-frame premium lens for TOP modern digital cameras Canon and Nikon.
It is authentically known:
- Tokina Opera 50mm F1.4 FF is Tokina's first electromagnetic diaphragm lens for Nikon cameras
- Tokina Opera 50mm F1.4 FF is the second lens with a ring-type ultrasonic motor (the first was Tokina VCM-S AT-X PRO SD 70-200 F4 (IF) FX)
- Tokina Opera 50mm F1.4 FF has dust and moisture protection
Most likely this is a joint development of PENTAX and TOKINA, since recently there was an announcement of a similar lens HD Pentax D FA ★ 50mm f / 1.4 SDM AW.

even some kind of monster
Sigma is not a monster?
The appearance is very similar to Sigma Art 50 / 1.4. It's a pity. Pentax has its own, recognizable, powerful and at the same time some kind of intelligent lens design. I would not change the style.
I'm sorry, I meant Tokina lenses of course. They looked very much like “reliable guys”. And this one is some kind of unisex.
I totally agree.
it turned out that this is the development of Ricoh-Pentax, and is apparently produced at the Pentax plant in Vietnam. But what's the difference - both manufacturers with a name and vast experience in the production of lenses. Does anyone really think that giving birth to fifty dollars is an insurmountable task? But then Pentax started selling its version for $ 1200 and that's too bad. It was turned into a lens for commercial photographers, as ordinary people buy the whole system for such a price ...
