I'm not surprised. If you visit their site:
www.tokinalens.com
you'll notice that none of the newer lenses comes in Pentax mount. If I
understand it correctly, Tokina stopped producing lenses for Pentax mount some
time ago. This is probably because they're in a partnership with Pentax and
Hoya: Pentax slightly modifies Tokina lenses and then they sell them under the
Pentax name. I think (but I'm not sure) that this is what happened with the
10-17mm fisheye, the 12-24 f/4, and probably the new 50-135 f/2.8 (some specs
are identical). More recently, they've rebranded the Tamron mega-zoom... I'm a
little bit disappointed.
If the information above is wrong, please correct me.
