Canon EF 100-400mm II End of Production, Viltrox 56mm f/1.2 Pro Challenges Fujifilm

Meanwhile, Viltrox's new 56mm f/1.2 Pro is getting tested against Fujifilm's own 56mm f/1.2 WR on high-res X-mount bodies, and early indications suggest the budget option might actually hold up, which could free up serious cash for portrait and event shooters to spend on their next piece of glass.
