Tokina Vista 65mm T1.5 Cinema – Fast T1.5 for Low Light and Shallow Depth of Field

The Tokina Vista 65mm T1.5 Cinema lens is an excellent solution for filmmakers looking for a reliable and high-performing prime lens. With an impressive T1.5 aperture, this lens delivers exceptional performance in low light and the ability to create beautiful out-of-focus backgrounds. It is perfect for professional filmmakers, documentarians, and photographers striving to capture sharp and detailed images in all lighting conditions.

Design and Compatibility

This 65mm Vista lens has a form factor consistent with other lenses in the Tokina Cinema Vista series, making it easy to switch between lenses. The smooth lens switching, focus rotation, and front tube diameter allow you to work efficiently without needing to adjust your accessories. The internal focusing ensures that the length of the lens remains constant during focus pulls, helping to maintain balance on rigs and reducing the need for adjustments to follow-focus or matte box.

Optical Features

With a fast T-stop of 1.5, this lens is ideal for shooting in low light or for creating a shallow depth of field, giving a professional feel to your films. Tokina has integrated aspherical elements and modern coatings into the design to minimize chromatic aberration and ensure sharp images even at 8K resolution. The nearly non-existent breathing effect during focus pulls and the stable image position during focus changes are crucial for achieving consistent and repeatable focus pulls in professional workflows.

The 9-blade iris contributes to beautiful and natural bokeh, giving your films an aesthetically pleasing look. Gradations for both focus and iris are clearly marked on both sides of the lens, making it easy to read regardless of which side of the camera rig you are working from.
