Something Tokina "dispersed" into EVIL.
Variety is good, but IMHO - the lenses are a bit dark (after all, in fact, the T-stop will be completely different, due to the design).
But the maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.5 is very good (although it is not easy to photograph). Judging by the experience of owning and using Tamron SP 350 mm f / 5.6 Adaptall-2 model 06B with the same maximum magnification factor.
Tokina (Chinese Viltrox actually) of the “SadomaZo” series. Rubik haters finally have a worthy alternative - truly modern reflex lenses without a hint of a scoop. Developed in a state of law besides)
The youngest Tokina 300mm / 7,1 aperture could have been more interesting. At least 5,6
Well, the thickness and mass would have grown a little, which is clearly not critical for the baby.
And then the size of the filter is 46 mm.
The location of the main mirror at 600 and 900 mm is surprising, as if the old SLR scheme was transferred to mirrorless cameras with a small working distance. But I believe that this is not the case, that this is a new development.
Tokina becomes a trendsetter for EVIL. Five lenses in production - 300,400,500,600 and 900mm.
LZOS has only four.
Ok, Sergey - Wiltrox has 5 lenses in production and all are dubious. Well, where is it? No, in order to use the main advantage of EVIL - the absence of chromaticity - to create high-aperture schemes. There was a military 135 / 1.8 EVIL here - that would be on krlp, yes. There would be a market gap and certainly a new fashion law.
Something on the official website of Viltrox does not even hint at mirror-lens optics.

Well, Viltrox makes them one way or another, sort of. Not Tokina herself.
