Tokina Cinema Vista Prime 180mm T1.9 Lens for Sony E, Feet

An exceptional addition to the Tokina Cinema lineup, the Cinema Vista Prime 180mm T1.9 Lens for Sony E, Feet, is a high-quality, professional-grade lens that has been meticulously designed to meet the demanding needs of cinematographers and rental houses. This versatile lens is part of an extensive range that includes the 18mm, 21mm, 25mm, 29mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 65mm, 85mm, 105mm, and 135mm T1.5 Vista Primes, making it a key component in one of the most comprehensive sets of cinema-specific lenses available today.

The 180mm T1.9 lens shares the same superior characteristics as its siblings in the Vista Prime family, delivering organic, yet highly detailed images. Lens distortion and chromatic aberration are virtually non-existent, ensuring the highest quality visuals. The lens also boasts minimal focus breathing and a subtle roll-off from subject to background, enhancing the overall cinematic effect.

One of the standout features of this lens is its remarkably fast T1.9 aperture, which opens up new creative possibilities for directors of photography. This feature not only maintains the performance of the other Vista Prime lenses but also provides the unique ability to isolate distant subjects, giving them an almost three-dimensional appearance.

The lens also offers a minimum focus distance of 4ft 11" (1.5m), with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:7.91, enabling stunning close-up shots. With full resolution at 8K+ and coverage for both Vistavision and Super35 format, this lens is a perfect match for modern large sensor cameras like the RED V-Raptor, ARRI Alexa Mini LF, Canon C500 mkII, Sony Venice 2, and FX9.

Despite its fast T1.9 aperture, the lens maintains a 114mm outside diameter, consistent with the other Vista Primes, facilitating easy attachment of a matte box and filters. The lens also accepts 112mm filters and features internal focus. Weighing 7.19 lbs/3.26kg (in PL mount form), the lens is 19.5cm long and is composed of 17 elements in 14 groups, with a 9 bladed iris for rounded highlight rendering.

All Vista lenses come with interchangeable mounts, and this particular model is available to fit Sony E Mount, making it a reliable and durable choice for professional photographers and videographers seeking versatility and precision in their work.
