Exceptional Performance During Focus Pulls

The focus pull is a camera technique in which you change focus during a shot e.g. adjusting the focus from one subject to another. Usually, lenses suffer from the issue of automatically zooming out when changing focus from a close subject to infinity or vice versa, known as focus breathing. The Tokina Cinema Vista is specially designed to lessen the degree of focus breathing. This feature is useful while pulling focus, even on a static shot where focus breathing is highly noticeable. This makes it extremely popular among professional photographers.

Visually Appealing Bokeh

This lens features a 9-bladed iris that helps to produce a smooth round appearance to out-of-focus specular highlights. It also helps to produce beautiful bokeh, making it an ideal option for professional photographers. Featuring a maximum T-stop of 1.5, it is perfect for use in low-light conditions as well as capturing that shallow depth-of-field look.

FAQs:

What is Tokina Cinema Vista 40mm T1.5 good for?

The compact and lightweight Tokina Cinema Vista 40mm T1.5 lens is perfect for nightscapes, city?????s, landscapes, street photography, architecture photography, and more.

What is the purpose of using aspherical elements in the Tokina Cinema lens?

The use of aspherical elements and modern coatings result in sharper images, especially at wider apertures, and helps to minimise other optical imperfections, including chromatic aberrations. They help to deliver nicely corrected images.

How is this 40mm T1.5 EF-mount prime lens different from a zoom lens?

The major difference between zoom lenses and prime lenses is of focal length. Prime lenses have a single focal length as compared to zoom lenses that can vary their focal length. This lens comes with a focal length of 18 mm and is preferred by professional photographers for various reasons, from boosting creativity to portability.
