Thanks to our sources, and especially to a new source who helped me out with this (thanks for contacting me after this article), we can now tell you the date of the next Fujifilm X Summit.
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.
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.
