Tokina has unexpectedly announced a new wide-angle zoom lens for full-frame camera is the latest Tokina 24-70mm F2.8 FX.

The lens has a familiar focal range from 24mm to 70mm with an aperture of f/2.8 at all zoom levels. Tokina lens retains traditional design with a sturdy metal body. The lens itself measures focus distance and a quite large adjustable rubber ring. The largest aperture of the lens f/2.8, ability to capture batter stills and beautiful bokeh in low light conditions.
The Tokina 24-70mm F2.8 FX lens is composed of 3 glass molded aspherical elements and 3 SD super-low dispersion glass elements give maximum resolution, more even brightness to the surrounding area, and high level distortion correction.
