Nearly Zero Breathing Issue

The Tokina lens is designed to dramatically minimise focus breathing, which is the tendency of lesser lenses that automatically zoom out when changing focus from a close subject to infinity or vice versa. This makes it perfect for professional photographers, who find it frustrating when trying to focus at the lens's minimum focusing distance (MFD).

Natural-Looking Bokeh

This top-quality cine lens is designed with a 9-bladed iris which works by limiting the amount of light that hits the image sensor delivering a rounded bokeh aesthetic. This iris is manual, so you can physically adjust the opening to allow more or less light during recording. The lens produces a smooth, beautiful round appearance to out-of-focus specular highlights.

What does the 135mm mentioned in the product title mean?

It refers to the focal length of the lens. It has only one mm designation for a simple reason: they do not zoom. So, if you want to get further or closer to your subject, you must physically move. Prime lenses such as this often provide a noticeably sharper image over zoom lenses.
