Tokina Vista Primes (PL/EF)

The Tokina Vista Primes are professional cinema lenses featuring a fast T1.5 maximum aperture for low-light performance and stunning depth of field. Their advanced optical design ensures sharp images with minimal distortion, while a durable build and smooth focus throw enhance usability on set.

Key Features:

  • Optical Design: The lenses incorporate a complex optical design with 10 elements in 13 groups, including two aspherical elements, which reduce chromatic aberration and distortion while delivering sharp images across the frame. They cover a large image circle of 46.7 mm, making them compatible with both Super35 and VistaVision formats.

  • Aperture Range: The Vista Primes have a maximum aperture of T1.5 for strong low-light performance and shallow depth of field, adjustable up to T22 for versatility. With 9 aperture blades, they produce smooth, rounded bokeh that enhances out-of-focus areas.

  • Focus Throw: The lenses are designed for smooth operation, allowing precise focus pulls in cinematography. With minimal focus breathing, the lenses enable seamless subject transitions. Their varying minimum focus distances support close-up shots, enhancing creative flexibility.

  • Advanced Optical Design: Tokina's advanced optics and modern coatings deliver sharp, high-resolution images even at wide apertures, with minimal distortion and chromatic aberration, ensuring reliable performance in any shooting condition.

  • Build Quality: Durable aluminum-brass build, 114mm front diameter, 112mm filter size; lightweight, reliable, and designed for professional use without electronics.

Image Quality:

The Tokina Vista Primes deliver sharp, distortion-free images with minimal chromatic aberration, ideal for high-resolution capture up to 8K. With a T1.5 aperture, they excel in low light and produce creamy bokeh. Virtually no focus breathing ensures smooth transitions, and their design maintains clarity across the frame, even at wide apertures.

Physical Characteristics:

The Tokina Vista Primes are built with durable all-metal housing, ensuring professional reliability and a solid feel on set. They are relatively large and heavy, with weights ranging from 2.19 to 2.99 kg depending on the focal length. Most lenses have a 114mm front diameter and a 112mm filter size, except for the 18mm lens. A 300° focus rotation provides precise, smooth focus adjustments, ideal for cinematic work.

Their robust design and high functionality make them well-suited for demanding productions.
