Quality Construction

Built to match Tokina's high quality standards, this 50mm T1.5 camera lens is meticulously crafted from the finest quality materials to offer a perfect balance of strength and performance. This unit features 13 glass elements in 10 groups and various multi-coatings that help to produce detail-rich, crisp, and clear images. The all-metal cine-style housing with geared focus makes it perfect for use in a variety of shooting situations.

Pleasing Bokeh

This prime lens features a de-clicked, smooth, 9-bladed, curved iris that helps to create a natural-looking bokeh by limiting the amount of light that hits the image sensor. Bokeh makes pictures visually appealing, making us focus attention on a particular area of the image.

Fast T1.5 Aperture

This lens has a fast T1.5 aperture that helps to overcome optical challenges and reduce chromatic aberration. It is really helpful when you need to use a fast shutter speed (for example, in wildlife or even sports photography) as well as in low-light situations (for example, if you need to shoot indoors but can't use a flash).

FAQs:

What is Tokina Cinema Vista 50mm T1.5 good for?

The Tokina Cinema Vista lens features a focal length of 50mm, which offers a similar field of vision to our own eyes, meaning you can shoot what you see. This will also capture human faces without distorting them into unnatural proportions. You can use it for architecture photography, city?????s, nightscapes, landscapes, street photography, and more.

What does T1.5 aperture mean and what is its purpose?

Think of aperture like your eyes: When the eye is fully opened then all of the light comes through to the pupil and when you squint, less light enters the pupil. So, an aperture is just a hole that controls how much light comes through the camera lens to fall on the sensor. It not only affects the depth of field but the brightness of the image too. Fast T1.5 maximum aperture enables working in low-light situations and provides better control over focus placement for shallow depth-of-field applications.

What is the basic difference between EF mount and PL mount? Which mounting is available for this lens?

EF stands for ‘electro-focus' and PL stands for ‘positive-lock'. ARRI PL mount is a sturdy workhorse in the cinema ecosystem with a reputation for performance and the Canon's EF mount is a modern, electronic system that has the ability to autofocus. The interchangeable Tokina 50mm T1.5 Cinema lens is available in both Canon EF and PL mounts.
