Tokina 23/33/56mmF1.4 Discontinuation Begins, but We Want THIS APS-C Mirrorless Lens from Tokina
Tokina X mount – The Missing Lens
First stores in Japan are starting to mark the following Tokina autofocus lens trinity as discountinued and in USA we have Adorama marking the Tokina 23mmF1.4 and Tokina 33mmF1.4 in “Closeout”.
I can’t really say I am surprised about it, as these are Viltrox clones at a higher price. And many other manufacturers offer autofocus lenses in that range too.
To make things worst, Tokina reacted to bad sales by increasing prices on their X mount lenses, which basically killed any chance for those lenses to sell in sufficient numbers.
And yet, there is one Tokina lens, for APS-C mirrorless, that could be very successful.
It’s already available for Sony E mount and it’s this lovely Tokina lens here.
Now, I hope Tokina won’t be discouraged to continue their X mount journey due to the bad sales of their first attempt, because I believe that the Tokina 11-18mmF2.8 would sell significantly better. The only true competitor in that range would be the Sigma 10-18mmF2.8, hence there would be still enough room for sales.

My Biggest Fujifilm Disappointment of 2023
In the video above (click and it starts automatically at the right point) I address my biggest disappointment of 2023 (and my biggest hope for 2024)
My Biggest Fujifilm Disappointement of 2023
It’s Christmas time.
We get all more kind, more gentle, we show how much we love each other and…
… forget about it…
Not in the mood for that today.
Today I want to moan, to complain and to unleash my biggest Fujifilm frustration 2023 towards the Fujifilm headquarter of Japan.
Here it is.
Dear Fujifilm,
