Tokina 100mm Macro T2.9 Cinema EF Mount – True 1:1 full-frame macro with de-clicked T2.9 aperture

Tokina 100mm Macro T2.9 Cinema is the perfect lens for filmmakers looking to capture stunning close-ups with true 1:1 macro reproduction. With its film-style design and de-clicked aperture, this lens provides smooth control over exposure and a working distance that facilitates lighting and subject adjustments, making it an excellent choice for both professional and hobby filmmakers.

Designed for 1:1 macro on full frame

This lens is meticulously designed to achieve true 1:1 reproduction at the shortest focusing distance. At maximum magnification, it offers a working distance of 11.8 inches (0.3 meters), providing ample space to position lighting and adjust the subject without affecting the image. This is particularly advantageous when working with detailed macro shots where precision is crucial.

Optical performance and aperture control

The optical design is 4K-ready and delivers sharp, contrast-rich images with very low distortion and minimal chromatic aberration. Tokina has also carefully controlled focus breathing, ensuring that the composition remains stable during focus pulls. The wide T-stop range from T2.9 to T32 gives the filmmaker precise control over exposure and depth of field, which is essential for creating impressive close-ups.

The de-clicked aperture with nine curved blades contributes to soft and aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus areas (bokeh), providing a cinematic feel. This design also allows for smooth, continuous aperture adjustments during takes, which is a significant advantage for video production.

Robust cine-style construction and controls

Tokina 100mm Macro T2.9 is built with a robust, all-metal cine-style housing, ensuring durability and reliability during use. Both the focus and aperture rings are geared, making the lens compatible with follow-focus systems and professional rigging. Various mounts are also available, including Canon EF, making it flexible for use with different camera systems.
