Tokina 11-20mm T2.9 Cinema MFT – Compact super wide angle with T2.9 aperture

The Tokina 11-20mm T2.9 Cinema MFT delivers a compact, cinema-style super wide angle option for modern digital cinema production. It combines an all-metal build with cinema-standard features to suit demanding and changing production needs.

Key design and build features

The lens uses a fully metal construction and a compact form factor. It includes an extended, cinema-style focus throw and 0.8 Mod cinema gears on the focus, zoom and iris rings. Furthermore, the gear locations align with Tokina’s other zooms, which helps maintain consistent rigging and follow-focus setup across lenses.

Front and filtration options

Tokina fits this lens with an industry-standard 95mm front ring so you can clamp on matte boxes. In addition, the lens has an 86mm filter thread for low-profile filters or other filtration accessories. Therefore, you can choose between a standard matte box setup or a low-profile filter solution depending on your shooting needs.

Mounts and compatibility

The lens features the Tokina Cinema Vista Lens Mount system. You can exchange mounts in minutes to suit a range of cinema and hybrid still/cinema cameras. Available mount options include PL, EF, Sony E, MFT and Nikon F, giving you flexibility across many common camera platforms.

Optical performance

The Tokina 11-20mm is parfocal, which means you can zoom rack without losing focus. The parfocal optical design supports workflows that require maintaining focus during focal length changes. Also, Tokina reports well-controlled distortion and limited chromatic aberration when shooting at the maximum wide-open aperture, improving image quality in demanding conditions.

Sensor coverage and intended use

The optical design provides Super35 sensor coverage. As a result, the lens targets Super35-format digital cinema production and fits into compact cine rigs that require a super wide angle perspective.
