Tokina adds two new lenses for a wider view; the Tokina Vista 21mm T1.5 and 29mm T1.5.

 

Tokina Vista prime lenses have become an increasingly popular choice for productions, earning a reputation for elegant and highly detailed images. Lens distortion and chromatic aberration is well-controlled, with minimal focus breathing, soft pleasing flare and gentle roll-off from subject to background.

They are used on a wide array of features, shorts, commercials, and music videos and you can see the result on bigger Netflix, Marvel and BBC productions.

 

Optical construction consists of 19 elements in 18 groups for the 21mm and 18 elements in 18 groups for 29mm. Thanks to the optical design the lens produces an extra crisp look even when recording images at 8K resolution with pleasing image character all across the Iris range and usable even wide open.

 

Both the the 21mm T1.5 and 29mm T1.5 have 114mm front diameters, 112mm front filter thread and share a similar weight and size to other lenses in the series.

The lenses share the same form factor, focus rotation, lens gear position and front barrel diameter as the other Vista prime lenses.

Markings on the lens barrel make is readable from either side of the camera.

 

As with the existing lenses, they will be available in interchangeable ARRI PL, EF, MFT, Sony E, and ARRI LPL mounts.
