I thought I make a quick list of cameras and lenses that we could see in 2021, and what we surely will not get in 2021.
ATTENTION: It’s a mix of rumors, speculations and hopes. So read carefully to distinguish one from another.
2021 will be full of rumors, so make sure to follow FujiRumors on Facebook, Facebook, RSS-feed, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram.

Nokishita leaked the first images and specs of the upcoming Tokina lenses for Fujifilm X mount here. The lenses will be released on December 11.
All details below:
As already for the Viltrox 85mmF1.8 and the Tokina 85mmF1.8, also in this case we are just in front of the same re-branded lens. In fact, as we reported in this article, Ben said:
Tokina and Viltrox are both working with a well established 3rd party Chinese lens manufacturer that creates prototypes and allows other companies to customize and sell their lenses under their own brand names.
And yet, even though they might be optically the same, there could be one crucial difference between both lenses that we reported about it here: Tokina has access to official Fujifilm AF lens protocols, and I am not sure if Viltrox has, too (they surely had not, when they started making X mount lenses).

Back in March Tokina announced the release of three lenses for Fujifilm X mount, the Tokina atx-m 23mm f/1.4, the Tokina atx-m 33mm f/1.4 and the Tokina atx-m 56mm f/1.4.
Now, as reported by nokishita, the first two lenses will be announced very soon and start shipping on December 11. The lenses will be:
We already discussed about the fact if the new Tokina lenses are just rebranded Viltrox lenses. Lots of things seem indeed to indicate that they are indeed just rebranded versions of the same lens.
However, there is a difference we should not overlook.
Viltrox started to release AF lenses for Fujifilm by reverse engineering the X mount AF lens protocols. There was no official cooperation with Fujifilm and we have reported in the past about some bugs with Viltrox lenses, that to be fair Viltrox usually worked hard on to fix, but that’s the downside of not having any direct access to the protocols.
That’s different with Tokina. In fact, shortly after Tokina announced its new three Fuji X mount lenses, Fujifilm made a statement that they opened their lens protocols and that Tokina is the first to profit from it.
By having access to Fuji’s AF lens protocols, it should be easier for Tokina to develop fast, stable and bug-free lenses that work smoothly with Fujifilm cameras and always stay up to date with Fuji’s latest autofocus algorithm changes.
I don’t know if in the meantime also Viltrox got access to Fuji’s AF lens protocols.
What I do hope, though, is that Sigma will. And there was already and official and totally public statement that Sigma made very recently, that gives us hope. Read more down below.
