Tokina Vista-P Cinema Lens
The series is built around a fast T1.5 maximum aperture, a 9-blade iris and a large 46.7 mm image circle that covers full-frame, VistaVision and digital 65 mm sensors, making the lenses suitable for high-resolution capture up to 8K. Vista-P primes offer reduced contrast, crisp central sharpness and more stylized rendering towards the edges, giving images a classic, characterful feel that still holds up on modern large-format cinema cameras.
Optically, Vista-P is tuned to deliver increased spherical distortion and swirly background rendering while maintaining high resolution and low chromatic aberration. Focus breathing is kept to a minimum, so reframing during pulls is subtle, and the fast T1.5 aperture allows for shallow depth of field and flexible work in low light. The series is available both as new lenses and as a one-way modification to existing Vista Primes, providing an additional creative option for productions that already rely on the Vista ecosystem.
Mechanically, Vista-P lenses feature a robust all-metal cine housing with 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears, approximately 300° of focus rotation and a consistent 114 mm front diameter with 112 mm front filter thread. Gear positions are matched across focal lengths, making lens changes faster when using matte boxes and FIZ systems. Mount options include PL, EF, MFT, E and LPL, giving flexibility across a wide range of cinema cameras and rental packages.
