The rest of the 2012 CP+ show

The Nikon D800 and the Olympus OM-D E-M5 were probably the most exciting cameras announced during the 2012 CP+ show in Yokohama Japan. Here are some additional images from the 2012 CP+ show:

Tamron and Tokina at the 2012 CP+ show in Yokohama, Japan

Tokina's Stabilized 70-200 F4 lens

Tokina's Stabilized 70-200 f/4 lens

A quick hands-on report on the new Tokina 70-200mm f/4 lens by Psycho_McCrazy:

About the Tokina 70-200 F4 Stabilized: based on what the person who was at the booth said, it will probably be released later in the summer (August Maybe), at a price of 100000 Yen in Japan. Now I am not sure whether this will be a list price, or actual market price. International prices were not fixed as yet. Also, the Yen price translates to ~1300$ US if I use current exchange rates. But the actual pricing may vary – don’t take my word as final.
