Tokina 16-50 f2.8

[nikonrus]

They mention that it's gona be 118,650 yen - that would be srp right?
Hey Ortega, how about doing yr conversion with some other magic calculation that would give us what you think is the local price we would be looking at for this lens.

Ahh... finally... :sweat:

Wat!? Filter size 84mm

It should be using 77mm filter. 84mm is the outer diameter of the lens body.

You can use the recently launched 50-135mm as a gauge. The listed jap price is 144,900円. The street price of this lens in Singapore is about S$1088.

You can do your estimation...

[ortega]

so based on the 50-135 f2.8

¥144900 = S$1,879.842 via quote.com
street price in spore is about S$1137 (CP)

10-17 fisheye zoom
¥86,100 = S$1,117.008
street price in spore is $

12-24 f4
¥94,500 = S$1,225.984
street price in spore around S$860

and 16-50 f2.8

¥118,650 = S$1,539.291
so street price in spore should be less than S$1K maybe around S$900 - S$1000

Wrong. The filter size is 77 mm. See this link: http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?h...?q=tokina+AT-X+165&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en

[LExposure]

can't wait to see a comparison review with Tamron 17-50mm

 

[Wisdomworld]

Hopefully it is better than Tamron. 24mm-75mm (in 35mm format) very nice range. :thumbsup:

can't wait to see a comparison review with Tamron 17-50mm

 

[gomobile]

hopefully this 16 - 50 as sharp and quite fast compare to the nikon 17 -55 Then i will probably sell the nikon one and get this.

 

[paisatge]

so has anyone seen the samples?

what do you think? worth the wait or just get the "already-proven" tamron?
