New Tokina Lens Roadmap for Fujifilm X: Ultra Wide Prime, Standard Prime and 56mmF1.4x coming This Summer

Tokina has updated its lens roadmap, which includes new lenses also for Fujifilm x mount.

First off, in addition to the already exisiting autofocus lenses TOKINA atx-m 23mm F1.4 X and TOKINA atx-m 33mm F1.4 X, they finally gave us a release date for the TOKINA atx-m 56mm F1.4 X, which will come as soon as this summer.

These are basically all rebranded Viltrox lenses.

New to the roadmap are the following APS-C lenses for Fujifilm X mount to come in Winter 2021.

  • SZ Ultra Wide Prime Lens (APS-C lens)
  • SZ Standard Prime Lens (APS-C lens)
  • SZ 500mm F8 Reflex MF Lens (Full Frame Lens – Universal mount System)

Tokina has been explicitly mentioned by Fujifilm as getting official support (they have Fuji’s AF protocols). That’s always better than relying solely on reverse engineering.

And now, Sigma, it’s your turn!

LEAKED: First Images, Price and Specs of Tokina Fujifilm X Mount Lenses

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:

Tokina atx-m 23mm F1.4

  • 60,500 yen including tax (converted this makes $582. The Viltrox 33mmF1.4 costs 35,900 yen at Amazon Japan)
  • 11 elements in 10 groups (same of Viltrox 23mmF1.4)
  • minimum focus distance 0.3m
  • filter size 52mm
  • φ65mmx72mm
  • maximum magnification 0.1 times

Tokina atx-m 33mm F1.4

  • 53,800 yen including tax (converter this makes $518. The Viltrox 33mmF1.4 costs 30,000 yen at Amazon Japan)
  • 10 elements in 9 groups (same of Viltrox 33mmF1.4)
  • minimum focus distance 0.4m
  • filter size 52mm
  • φ65mmx72mm
  • maximum magnification 0.1 times

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).
