Image Fidelity & Focus
Tokina Cinema Vista primes are sharp and consistent across the set, with high resolution suitable for 8K capture. Contrast is natural and balanced, with a gentle falloff that avoids sterility and enhances dimensionality. Color rendition is neutral, matching across focal lengths. Chromatic aberrations are well controlled.
Flare & Bokeh
Bokeh is smooth and circular, aided by 9-blade apertures. Flare is controlled yet cinematic, producing soft veiling glow and mild streaks under strong light, and capable of expressive blooms when provoked.
Handling & Adaptability
The Vistas are large and heavy, with 114mm fronts and long focus throws. They are mechanically precise, with standardized gear positions and PL/EF mounts.
Image Circle
Tokina Cinema Vista primes cover Full Frame and VistaVision sensors with a 46.7mm image circle, adapting well to modern cinema cameras like ARRI LF and RED Monstro.
Cinematic Heritage
Tokina, long known for still photography lenses, entered the cinema market in the 2010s. The Cinema Vista line was developed to compete with premium cine primes at a more accessible price.
