Tokina 12-24 gets an update

See here and also here

The updated version gets improved coating as well as AF motors for Nikon mount. Available for both Nikon and Canon mounts.

Hopefully, they have resolved the flaring and CA issues with this new coating.

i am not excited about the motor unless it's ultrasonic otherwise it may end up even slower than using your screw-drive. the only advantage is that those with D40/60 can now use the lens

This WA lens should be the last lens to get a motor. Tokina should start by putting a motor in their other lenses with a longer focal length, like their 50-135.
