Yeah! I knew of this Tokina ATX lens many years ago but never pursued it then for lack of funds. Have been keeping my eyes open for it more recently hoping to pick it up used. Apparently not many were ever sold especially in PK and I`ve only seen a couple on ebay asking high prices.
Right now two on ebay-one for Minolta MD in France, one in the US in Canon FD.-both asking about US135.

I have both the 28-75mm f2.8 and now the 50-135mm. Both are excellent portrait lenses, the 28-75mm is brilliant as a walk around lens if you dont need wide angles. Its like the pentax 35-105mm on crop, and the FF compatibility is a bonus. I just shot with the 50-135mm and the colors and bokeh are just amazing.
