Tokina has no plans to make mirrorless lenses for Nikon Z-mount


Tokina confirmed to me that they currently have no plans to make mirrorless lenses for Nikon Z-mount. Tokina already has several mirrorless lenses available for other mounts.

The latest version of Capture One 22 (15.4.1) now supports Nikon Z9 compressed files (HE* & HE) – the release notes can be found here.
