The new Vista prime lenses from Tokina round out its range of cinema primes to an 11 lens lineup.

The lenses compliment the existing range. Both lenses feature a nine-bladed iris, 112mm front filter thread and 114mm outside diameter. Then company claims that image quality is maintained across the entire 46.7mm area of definition with either lens. Weight and size are also similar to the other Vista primes, so swapping out the lenses will be easy, with no rebalancing required.

The lenses are perfectly suited to shooting larger format imagery, such as Vistavision, or the much smaller S35 image circle. As per the rest of the range, they feature interchangeable mounts, so they can be configured for use as PL, EF, MFT, Sony E, or ARRI LPL glass.
