Tokina 100mm Macro T2,9 Cinema MFT Mount

Tokina 100mm Macro T2.9 Cinema MFT Mount – True 1:1 Macro with Professional Cinema Build

The Tokina 100mm Macro T2.9 Cinema lens delivers true 1:1 macro reproduction in a cine-style package. It combines a full-frame optical design with a close working distance that keeps subject, lighting and operator access comfortable. Designed for filmmakers, this lens emphasizes image quality, control and compatibility with professional workflows.

Key optical characteristics

The lens is a full-frame 35mm design that reaches maximum magnification at a working distance of 11.8 inches (0.3 meters). Consequently, you get true 1:1 macro capability while maintaining room for lighting and for the camera operator to work around the subject. In addition, the optical formula is described as 4K ready, producing high contrast and sharp images with very low distortion and limited chromatic aberration.

Moreover, focus breathing is minimized for smoother framing during focus pulls. The lens features a de-clicked, 9-bladed, curved iris that creates pleasing out-of-focus areas and gives you precise exposure control. The aperture range runs from T2.9 to T32, which provides a wide span for depth-of-field and exposure adjustments essential when working at close distances.

Build and professional handling

Tokina equips the lens with a durable, all-metal cine-style housing. As a result, you get geared focus and aperture rings that work with follow-focus systems and other cinema accessories. The design emphasizes robustness and repeatable control suitable for production environments.

Compatibility and mount options

This 100mm macro is available in multiple mounts to suit various camera systems. The MFT mount version gives you the lens in a Micro Four Thirds fitting, while other mount options include PL, Canon EF, Sony E and Nikon F. This range allows filmmakers to choose the mount that matches their camera platform.
