Tokina Cinema Vista 18mm T1.5 PL Mount (Imperial Focus Scale)

The Tokina Cinema Vista 18mm T1.5 prime lens is one of the fastest wide-angle full-frame cinema lenses on the market. Developing a lens that covers an image circle of 46.7mm with virtually no focus breathing is quite an engineering feat. With a maximum T stop of 1.5, it is also suitable for low-light filming. To make lens changing quick and efficient, it features the same focus rotation, front barrel diameter, lens gear position, and form factor as the other lenses in the Tokina Cinema Vista series. The use of modern coatings and three aspherical elements help to deliver nicely corrected images with super-low chromatic aberrations. It features a 9-bladed, curved iris for smooth bokeh aesthetic and a 114mm front diameter for use with all professional matte boxes. All these outstanding optical capabilities have been packed into a lightweight and reasonably sized lens body to aid easy storage, transport, and operation.
