Optical formula is different, as is rendering (coulours slightly different), thanks to Tokina deisgn (yep DFA100 is a Tokina). For what I could read the DFA100 is as good as the FA/F100 so Tokina or not.. I wouldn't care at all. DFA will bring QuickShift but plastic construction (and less weight). Also, you WILL lose the focus limiter, there's none on the DFA :(
