Professional cinema prime lenses for full-frame capture with precise optics and consistent color across focal lengths.
Definition
The Tokina Vista-P is a series of professional cine prime lenses specifically developed for digital cinema productions. These full-frame lenses cover the entire full-frame sensor area and consistently offer a T1.5 aperture. The series currently includes focal lengths of 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 105mm, all with identical front and rear diameters, as well as uniform focus and aperture ring positions for quick lens changes on set.
The Vista-P lenses are characterized by their organic image quality with creamy bokeh and warm color rendition. They utilize a special multi-layer coating that minimizes reflections while simultaneously creating a subtle, cinematic look. The robust metal housing and precise mechanics are designed for the demanding realities of production.
Practical Application
In German film and television production, the Tokina Vista-P lenses have established themselves as a cost-effective alternative to high-end cine lenses. They are frequently used in documentaries, commercials, and independent productions where the budget is limited but professional image quality is still required. The uniform dimensions allow for the use of follow-focus systems and matte box configurations without time-consuming adjustments.
Technical Details
All Vista-P lenses operate with a PL mount (Positive Lock) and are therefore compatible with most professional cinema cameras. The focus ring offers a 300-degree rotation for precise focus pulling, while the aperture ring is continuously adjustable from T1.5 to T16.
