Wow. Just saw this at The Digital Picture
:
THK Photo Products, Inc., announces the Tokina AT-X 16.5-135 DX, is a 16.5-135mm f/3.5-5.6 AF lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras with APS-C sensors.* This lens gives the digital photographer an ultra wide-range zoom lens that has the equivalent angle of view to a 25-200mm.
This Tokina compact super wide zoom range begins at 16.5mm and offers the photographer a wider angle of view than most lenses in its class that start at 18mm. This makes the lens better suited for scenic and travel photography in addition to being a great standard lens for most general photography situations.
Full specs can be found on the other end of the link. I have no idea what the image quality will be like, but I suspect a heck of a lot of folks moving up from Point-and-Shoots will find this lens super-attractive. I can't believe they're going that wide at the short end...
