Possible to use a Tokina 12-24 lens with a Nikon D4S?

I am wondering if there is an adapter to use this lens with my Nikon D4S? I am completely new to this Nikon camera, and a bit overwhelmed. I have been looking online and although have found some info, am confused. I wanted to ask here to see if I am way off base so that I don't make an ordering mistake or spend tons of time going down a rabbit hole. Thank you in advance!

This lens was intended for DX (crop sensor) cameras. You may get vignetting on the sides of the picture when using it with a full frame camera like the D4S.

Not sure if the D4s does this, but all of the newer Nikon's "force" crop frame when a DX lens is mounted. IOW, the camera will only use about half of the sensor, since a DX lens does not normally cover all of a full frame sensor. And, it won't let you choose using the full frame, knowing you'll get vignetting. That means you will only get about 8 MP as opposed to the normal 16 MP your sensor is capable of. 8 MP is fine for posting online, as long as you don't crop much. It's likely not enough for either heavy cropping, or large prints.
