Cinema prime lenses for full-frame cameras offering wide coverage and professional color rendition for cinematic productions.
Definition
The Tokina Cinema Vista is a series of professional cine prime lenses specifically developed for full-frame cinema production. These high-quality prime lenses are characterized by their consistent T1.5 aperture across all focal lengths, offering uniform color reproduction and image characteristics. The series includes focal lengths from 18mm to 105mm and was designed with a focus on modern digital cinema cameras.
The Cinema Vista lenses feature a robust mechanical construction with standardized gear rings for follow focus systems and uniform front diameters for matte box systems. The optical design minimizes focus breathing and distortion, making them particularly suitable for demanding film productions.
Practical Application
In film production, the Tokina Cinema Vista lenses are primarily used for feature films, high-end series, and commercial productions. Their fast T1.5 aperture allows for shooting in challenging lighting conditions and creates natural depth of field with pleasing bokeh.
Technical Details
The lenses are available with a PL mount and optionally with other cinema mounts. The focus throw is consistently 300° for precise manual focusing. The short minimum focusing distance and the consistent T-stop across all focal lengths significantly facilitate lens changes during shooting.
