As I recall, the "ATX" was heavier due to it being a faster lens than an 
"SZX", the SZX was more a "consumer" lens. Interestingly, Tokina consumer 
lenses were still top quality compared to others' "consumer" lenses. I 
believe they stayed all-metal  in their construction. I've owned both ATX and 
SZX and was very happy with both.
