Tokina ATX-M 33 mm f/1.4 X
1. Introduction
Not long after the Viltrox launches the Japanese Tokina showed their new primes with the same aperture and focal length values. One glance at the following chart and you know it's a classic case of rebranding. The new Tokinas feature almost exactly the same parameters as the Viltrox lenses.
We wondered about the reasons behind the Tokina's decision, after all a renowned Japanese producer. Why did they decide to sell products of a relatively new Chinese company under their own brand name? After all Viltrox proved that they can produce good lenses, like the 1.4/23, but also bad ones, like the 1.8/50 model, tested by us not so long ago.
