Hope Canon updates the f/1,2L with a mark II or offer a 50mm f/1,4L IS like the 85mm f/1,4L IS!

LSXPhotog said:I really look forward to seeing the price point and the results this lens can produce. Tokina has a good track record over overbuilding lenses that look like they're extremely outdated. This is the first lens I've seen from the brand that looks modern and looks nice. The hands on videos show off the details of the lens and it's a very nice looking piece of glass. Tokina has always manufactured some great performing lenses...hopefully their AF motor is a little quieter these days, but that's going to reflect in the price point.

Do you have links to any hands-on videos? I couldn’t seem to find anything yet...
Antono Refa said:I trust Canon to follow the 85mm f/1.4L IS with an as expensive 50mm f/1.4L IS.
Personally, I've invested in four expensive L zooms, I'm not going to spend $1,000+ a piece on an L prime as well.
Viggo said:Absolutely agreed, they should do two 50 L’s also, a 50 f1.4 L IS equal in IQ to the 85 IS would be excellent 8)

My heart is with a small (but modern) double gauss offering -- I don't want the big pickle jar retrofocus nonsense out there, and I don't want the crappy plastic fantastic f/1.8 STM.
I haven't looked at the optical designs of all these new autofocusing non-Canon 50s, but at first glance:
- Sigma = definition of a pickle jar = no.
- Tamron 45 = 2/3 the weight of the Sigma, but still largely a pickle jar size-wise = I get to carry a large lens around for... f/1.8? Meh.
- Tokina = needs published specs, but it looks pretty big
Eventually, I'll get weak and just grab a 50L and live with it's non-flat field, external focusing and flaky AF wider than f/2. But it would just be so easy to modernize the 50 f/1.4 in an internally focusing design and please the world with a lovely little $499 50 f/1.4 USM II.

No, although IIRC the preproduction 17-55 f/2.8 and 35mm f/2 IS were both partially sealed.ahsanford said:Curious: are any non-(L or DO) lenses weather sealed?

drnedel said:Hi,
I heard a statement that the Tokina lens will be optically identical to the new Pentax 50mm 1.4, which starts selling approximately NOW. Anyone knows if this is true/likely?
Can we use any test/review results about the Pentax lens to evaluate what to expect from the Tokina glass?
