Tokina’s interchangeable mount system lets you change the mount on your lens to match your current camera. The system supports switching mounts as your camera needs evolve, so you can adapt a single lens to multiple camera bodies.
Each mount features stainless steel construction designed to withstand the rigors of production. Because the mount is built from robust materials, it holds up during regular use on set. In short, many things can go wrong on set; your lens mount won’t be one of them.
Each lens mount kit includes shims for micro-adjustment of flange depth. These shims let you fine-tune the flange depth to achieve the correct fit every time you mount the lens. Furthermore, the shims are universal to all lenses we offer, which makes adjustments straightforward across your Tokina lenses.
The mounts are easy to change and require minimal labor. Therefore, you can reconfigure lenses quickly when you switch cameras, whether on a rental job or during longer-term system upgrades. This ease of interchangeability helps you preserve the value of your lens investment as camera systems change.
Use this mount kit to adapt lenses across different camera platforms without buying new optics. For example, rental houses can equip a single lens for many camera types, while individual filmmakers can protect their investment if they upgrade or change camera systems in the future.
Question: Can I change the mount myself?
Answer: Yes. The mounts are designed to be easy to change and require minimal labor, so you can perform the swap yourself or with simple workshop support.
Question: Are shims included and how do they work?
Answer: Yes. Each kit includes shims for micro-adjustment of flange depth. They allow precise tuning of the flange depth to get the correct fit every time, and the shims are universal to all lenses we offer.
Question: What items come in the mount and shim kit?
Answer: The kit contains the Tokina Cinema mount, two sets of screws (for prime and zoom lenses), and a rear lens cap.
Question: Will this help if I change camera systems or run rentals?
Answer: Yes. Because mounts are interchangeable and easy to change, you can use your lens investment on multiple cameras for rental purposes or to protect its value if you change your camera of choice.
