I got new updated information that the new Tokina atx-m 11-18mm f/2.8 for Sony E mount (APS-C) will be announced on September 14.
At the same time, I have got another info that the lens will be available as white finished body as well.

Private question: What’s the best hiking camera bag?
I have to buy two new camera bags. One for serious hiking and one for city-light travel. I did some “research” and those are my favorites yet. But I am asking the experts out there if those bags would be really ok or if there is one bag I missed out and that I absolutely have to try:
1) Hiking camera bag (one camera, two compact zoom and one bigger zoom lens, one day hiking tours, freezing temperature, wet):
- Shimoda Explore V2 (my favorite yet)
- Lowepro Flipside Trek
- Gitzo Adventury backpack
2) City-compact travel camera bag (one camera, one fixed lens and one zoom, with laptop):
- Peak design 20l
- Langly XC Camera pack
- WANDRD PRVKE Lite Photography Bag (probably too hipster?)
For now the Shimoda and the Peak Design are on top of my list…
