sure its the Tokina 20mm F2 Firin lens. its a new range from Tokina and its very very sharp  i paid £600 for an open box from wex. The MF is cheaper than the AF version both have the same optics, i have the AF version but couldnt find a MF one in stock any where. I'm really enjoying using it for astro and seascapes. its quite small considering its for a FF body. would i recommend  one ...sure would it's at its sharpest at F8 TO F11

Two bright planets, the Milky Way, Pipe Nebula and a view to die for.

You've done it again,
