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.
