Tokina AT-X DX 11-16mm f/2.8 now also available for Sony DSLRs

The Tokina AT-X DX 2.8/11-16 is a popular lens for Canon and Nikon DSLRs. Now, Tokina has announced that the lens will also be available for Sony Alpha DSLR cameras with a crop sensor – the lens does not work with full frame cameras like the A900 and A850.
On a cropped Sony DSLR, the lens gives an equivalent focal zoom range from 16.5 up to 24mm.
With f2.8, the lens can be used in low light situations.

So far, the announcement from Tokina is only available in Japanese:
