Tokina 100mm Macro T2,9 Cinema EF Mount

Tokina 100mm Macro T2.9 Cinema EF Mount – True 1:1 Full-Frame Macro with De-clicked T2.9 Iris

Get true 1:1 macro reproduction with a cine-style build designed for filmmakers. The Tokina Cinema AT-X 100mm T/2.9 macro delivers full-frame 35mm coverage, a de-clicked iris for smooth exposure control, and a working distance that leaves room for lighting and subject handling. It also offers affordable performance for high-quality close-up imagery.

Designed for 1:1 Macro on Full-Frame

This lens achieves true 1:1 reproduction at a close focus distance. At maximum magnification the working distance is 11.8 inches (0.3 meters). That working distance gives you space to position lights, adjust the subject, and operate the camera without crowding the shot.

Optical Performance and Aperture Control

The optical design is described as 4K ready, producing sharp, high-contrast images with very low distortion and minimal chromatic aberration. Tokina controls focus breathing to keep composition stable during focus pulls. The lens features a wide T-stop range from T2.9 to T32, allowing precise control over exposure and depth of field when shooting close subjects.

The iris is de-clicked and comprised of nine curved blades. This design produces smooth, pleasing out-of-focus areas (bokeh) and supports incremental exposure adjustments when you need silent, continuous aperture changes during takes.

Durable Cinema-Style Build and Controls

The lens uses a durable, all-metal cine-style housing. Both the focus and aperture rings are geared, making the lens ready for follow-focus systems and professional rigging. You can mount this model in the Canon EF mount, while Tokina also offers the design in additional mounts for different camera systems.
