This was always my favorite walking around lens. Mine failed a few years ago
when the 'A' contact ring wore out.
It's the lens I dropped & Tokina fixed under warranty even though I told them
I'd dropped it & that anyway it was out of warranty because I bought it used.
I got maybe 10 good years use out of it after they repaired it.
Igor's question prompted me to check KEH & eBay and I found one in Pentax Kaf
mount in Japan on eBay with a "Buy it Now" price just about same as I remember
paying KEH for the first one back in 2003.
It arrived at my front door just a few minutes ago.
I'm so happy. I will try to be a little more careful with this one. 8^)

If you're referring to the autofocus AT-X PRO 287 (f/2.8 28-70mm), the BH-774
works with it.
It used to be my workhorse lens before the 'a' contact failed and that's the
hood I have.
It fits & is reasonable (although the price may not be)

Hi All!
I have misplaced the shade for my Tokina ATX Pro 28-70/2.6-2.8 lens (circa
1996), and I am looking at my options for the replacement.
I know that a few list members have used this lens (at least before).
So, my questions:
1. If you still have it (or the box/manual): what is the original model number
for that shade?
2. I am trying to figure out if the current BH774 (which is listed for 19-35mm
lens) is the same, or at least if it would work on my 28-70.
(It shouldn't cause vignetting, but I wonder if it would fit and be reasonable.)
3. Do you any other suitable options?
And some interesting info: While searching for the specs, I've found this
interesting article about the history of this lens and possible connection to
the Angenieux lens.
