I don't think so. It's actually a very good price. I'm glad to see cinema lenses that don't cost $5K. CP2's are the least expensive true cinema lenses and they start at around $5K. If your budget is DSLR lenses not cinema then you have options like the Rokinon and they are pretty good too.

It's stupid because the standard Tokina 16-28mm is a couple of hundred dollars more than the 11-16mm yet the Cine version is a couple of thousand more.
 
I have owned both the Duclos PL mount version, and the stock Tokina 11-16 in EF mount. Lens mounts aside, if you want a low cost solution, you can purchase both focus and zoom gears which are custom fit off eBay right now for a very reasonable price, which gives you the ability to use a follow focus to zoom or focus.
 
Based on the pictures, it would appear that the size, filter threads, gearing and focus throw for the 11-16mm t3 is the same as on the photo version. It seems like a lot of money to pay just to have manual control of the aperture. Does it maintain autofocus or are you also paying to get that thrown out?
 
I have the stock lens and, with the old school way in which the manual focus engages, I can't imagine how having the cine version would be significantly better. I might be wrong.
