Yes, my Tokina 80-200 is an AF model with hood (MH-774) mounting via
77mm filter threads. Although Tokina's own page on this lens doesn't
show it there was a later version of this lens with a plastic bayonet
mount hood. But the only place I've seen it is on ebay auctions. It's
what I wanted but missed that auction. It was OK, I got a much better
price on mine and the lens is just fine.
Whilst looking for info on the Tokina pages I noticed the continuing
demise of Tokina full-frame lenses. Even the hoods for my lens are no
longer available. No MF lenses are produced any more and AF full-frame
lenses are down to the 100/2.8 macro and the 80-400/4.5-5.6 "D" version.
The "D" version has revised coatings for reflective digital sensors.
There is at least one earlier, film version of this lens and maybe two.
Maybe some day.
The only other lenses left are six Canon/Nikon AF lenses for APS-C size
sensors. They include a 10-17 fishyeye, 12-24/4, 35/2.8 macro and three
well spaced, constant f/2.8 aperture zooms: 11-16, 16-50 and 50-135.
I hope they survive. <http://www.thkphoto.com/products/tokina/>
