Tokina AT-X 17-35 F4 PRO FX announced

Tokina AT-X 17-35 F4 PRO FX announced six days ago in Japan.

Is this sign of future Pentax FF body?

Isn't FX Nikon speak for full-frame?

Yes, FX is Nikon Designation for full-frame. Tokina for their lenses uses same or similar designation as Nikon, DX for APS-C and FX for full-frame. Also exterior design of Tokina lenses is similar to nikon pro lenses.

Looks nice. Not sure what it has to do with a Pentax FF though... This isn't Tokina's first full-frame lens.

Tokina released a 16-28mm FX lens not too long ago and it didn't usher in any Pentax FF body. I wouldn't expect anything.

This is Tokinas second lens for FF in digital era. So maybe this is sign of Pentax body with FF sensor next year with rumored Sonya 32MP FF sensor. After all Pentax and Kenko-Tokina shared lens designs for APS-C, even SD-M motor in this new Tokina lenses is same as SDM in Pentax or DC motor with GMR sensors, and both companies are owned by Hoya.
