Joseph Tainter aka Distudio on DPR if my memory serves me well. He had very inside sources which can't be discolsed but as far as I know Joe is pretty serious and I trust him on this. Otherwise he wouldn't be so sure of himself.

No, AFAIK the DFA100 is a Tokina design but as I said I'm not so sure about that one... there have been quite a number of discussions on this topic here and at DPR. I'll try to find'em back (if DPR search decides to work for me lol).
