News Release
Kenro has announced the UK release of two new Tokina lenses, the AT-X 165 PRO DX and the AT-X 535 PRO DX, with immediate availability. Both new lenses continue Tokina's reputation for combining superb performance with outstanding value for money.
The AT-X 165 PRO DX is an ideal multi-purpose lens with a wide range of applications. From portrait photographers to photojournalists, from lovers of nature photography to sports fans - all will benefit from the AT-X 165's bright F/2.8 constant aperture. This wide aperture allows for faster shutter speeds in low-light conditions or a more shallow depth of field for more pleasing portraits. The out-of-focus background from a wide aperture setting helps to concentrate attention on the subject giving the image more strength and intimacy.
The rear optical group of the lens contains 1 SD (Super-Low Dispersion) glass element to reduce the number of elements (pieces of glass) in the optical design in order to make the lens more compact, lightweight and faster focusing.
The AT-X 165 offers the digital photographer the equivalent of a 24-75mm lens in terms of film and has a focal length of 16mm to 50mm.
The Tokina AT-X 535 PRO DX lens is a 50mm-135mm lens with a fast constant aperture of f/2.8. This lens gives digital photographers the similar to industry standard 80-210 telephoto zoom lens in 35mm camera terms.

Nikon may be phasing out at least one of its starter digital SLR cameras in the near future, hints from the company and from tipsters reveal. The company has recently pulled a D40x listing from its Japanese online store, indicating that local production of the 10-megapixel camera has stopped; versions in other markets as well as the original D40 will continue to sell, the company says. However, the firm has not offered a replacement model, leaving a gap between the D40 and the mid-range D80.
