I didn't know that there was a non-"Pro" version (just ATX, not ATX PRO). The Pro (AT-X 828 AF PRO) version would be a great steal (that's why I called it a robbery [in the reverse sense]. I don't know the regular version, but it still sounds like a good deal. (You can read this review: http://bodzashphotoastro.blogspot.com/2010/11/in-depth-review-tokina-80-200-f28-at-x.html ) Price-wise, on ebay, ATX Pro goes somewhere in the $400-500 range; I would guess that the ATX would go for something near $200.
PS. It seems like there might be a non-AF version of ATX, - I have no idea about that.
