Yeah, that would be wonderful! There two UW DX lenses are just the best out there, pricee and performance wise, in my opinion.
Time for them to start making some new FX glass, in known build quality.

Is it just a coincidence that Nikon’s first image stabilized lens was the 80-400 lens, as well? (Or was that the first with VR II?)

Thats some good news. I’d love them to get USM motor and I’d love to see their 17-35mm and 24-70mm full frame lenses.

Sounds wonderful! Tokina surely has made some nice lenses before, and it would be interesting to see how this turns out.

This will be a nice addition to a line of Superb lenses which match or surpass equivalent Canikon L and Nikkor glass.

This is a very good lens at its price point. Let’s hope adding stabilization is not going to spoil that by making it too expensive.

Tokina lenses are very good, Image Stabilization would make them even better.
