In March Tokina announced it would be increasing prices in April now, Tokina has made another statement about price increases and lenses being discontinued. It looks like the list of discontinued lenses is just to switch to the PLUS branding, which includes a microfiber cloth and sticker on the box, but it will be interesting to see how prices and discounts balance out over time as this is the second price increase announced this year.
About price revision and renewing of Tokina brand lenses
Dear Customers,
We sincerely thank you for your continued support of Tokina lenses.
Due to recent cost hikes of raw materials and components, our production costs have been greatly increased. We have been making every effort to absorb the cost hike.
However, regrettably, we are not able to bear all the cost increase any further and we need to revise the price of all Tokina lenses. In line with this revision some of our Tokina lenses will be discontinued and renewed respectively as below. The global shipment of renewed models is scheduled to start from June, 2022.

The below models will be renewed. The renewed models will be marked with the “PLUS” sticker on the package and will come with Tokina branded microfiber cleaning cloth. The technical specifications remain the same.
