Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this lens comparable with the Sony A6100?

A: No. The following lens is made for micro four third units.

Q: 2. I read somewhere that Fuji was quite protective of their lens design protocol. Has this changed? Did Tokina reverse-engineer Fuji's protocol?

A: Yes. In this particular case, Kenko-Tokina has licensed the communication/AF protocols from Fujifilm. This is information sourced through the web, from an interview by DPReview with Fujifilm's general manager of their Optical Device and Electronic Imaging Products Division. See those articles here: https://bit.ly/3azG1Tl https://bit.ly/3j1DmFL

Q: 3. Would this lens work for a Nikon F5?

A: Yes, the Nikon F5 is based on a F-Mount.

Q: 4. Not sure the answer given is what the customer intended, or maybe it was... Anyway, I was wondering if the other person wanted to know if the Tokina (electric contact points on the lens mount) communicates with the camera internals on the Fuji. Fuji is noted for holding lens communication protocols close to the vest. Has that changed?

A: Yes. In this particular case, Kenko-Tokina has licensed the communication/AF protocols from Fujifilm. This is information sourced through the web, from an interview by DPReview with Fujifilm's general manager of their Optical Device and Electronic Imaging Products Division. See those articles here: https://bit.ly/3azG1Tl https://bit.ly/3j1DmFL

Q: 5. DOES the lens come with a front lens cap?

A: The Tokina atx-i 17-35mm f/4 FF Lens for Nikon F includes front and rear lens caps.

Q: 6. is this lens compatible with the lumix g7?

A: Yes, the Yongnuo YN25mm f/1.7 Prime Lens for Micro Four Thirds is compatible with the Panasonic Lumix G7.

Q: 7. Is this lens weather resistant like the Fujinon XF 35mm F2 WR?

A: Unfortunately, this lens is not weather-sealed.

Q: 8. Would this 33mm Tokina lens automatically activate the correct OVF frame line on a Fuji X-Pro1?

A: The Tokina atx-m 23mm f/1.4 Lens for FUJIFILM X will not communicate the focal length to the X-Pro1 camera. You would need to set the focal length manually in the camera in order to have frame lines in the OVF.

Q: 9. This lens is supported from Fujifilm exlusively with the firmware correct? How do you go about updating the firmware?

A: Instructions, provided by FUJIFILM, to updates firmware on lenses can be viewed by following this link: https://bhpho.to/3UqdbNj

Q: 10. What is the difference between this lens, the Tokina atx-i 17-35mm f/4 FF Lens & the Tokina 17-35mm f/4 AT-X PRO FX?

A: The AT-X PRO FX was an older model without internal focusing or the SD-M AF Motor. Tokina atx-i 17-35mm f/4 FF Lens also has better optical quality.
