If you want a lot of reach on X-mount and don’t mind donut bokeh then you really can’t beat the value of the Tokina 400mm + 2x Extender on Amazon which will give you 1200mm of reach on an APS-C camera. I currently own the Tokina 400mm and I am very impressed with its performance and weight. I plan to pick up the 2x TC as soon as it is listed on its own by a US retailer because it is only listed by Amazon UK at this time.

The Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 has been a long time coming and now they are finally in stock at Amazon. The Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 has been well-reviewed and it might be one of if not the sharpest lenses for X-mount at this time. I am probably going to get one of these myself, but I am waiting to see what happens with Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2S pricing, but I might just stick with my Fujifilm X-T4.
Fujifilm already let us know that there would be a new stacked sensor coming for the Fujifilm X-H2 during the X-Summit and to expect it at the next X-Summit which will be occurring in May. Now a patent has surfaced explaining what we can expect from this new stacked X-Trans CMOS.
The patent seems to indicate we may finally be getting smooth blackout-free or blackout-reduced live view while shooting continuously thanks to the camera’s ability to output image files and run live view in parallel with the new processor/stacked CMOS combo.
Below you can find some of the translated patent in addition to translated patent images: Read More
