The Tokina and Pentax lenses may share the same glass blanks and layout, but it is unclear to what extent the coatings are the same. Tokina even as a coating comparable to the Pentax SP but only They know if they are the same. However, Pentax DA lenses are assembled in Vietnam. There are barrel differences between the 2 as well. A good example of this would be to compare the DA 35mm ltd to the Tokina non-ltd version.
However, the Pentax lenses are NOT rebranded lenses with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions including out of production models. Quite hanging out with The Joker on DipRev.com. :p
