Tokina Vista 18mm T1.5

Tokina Vista 18mm T1.5

The Tokina Cinema Vista 18mm T1.5 is a wide-angle prime designed for full-frame and large-format cinema sensors, delivering an expansive viewpoint without drifting into exaggerated distortion. Covering a 46.7 mm image circle with a fast T1.5 aperture, it offers impressive low-light capability, smooth depth separation, and natural contrast with controlled flare. The 9-blade iris yields rounded, pleasing bokeh, while the design keeps focus breathing extremely low so complex racks feel stable and precise. As a focal length, 18 mm hits a sweet spot between ultra-wide drama and natural perspective, ideal for immersive interiors, dynamic handheld, car rigs, and establishing shots that still honor character scale.

Mechanically, the Vista primes are built for professional workflows with a uniform 114 mm front diameter across the set, matched gear positions for fast swaps, and a long 300° focus rotation that supports accurate, repeatable marks. Engraved, dual-side scales aid AC readability, and the robust all-metal construction is ready for demanding production environments. The result is a dependable, production-ready wide that integrates seamlessly with the full Vista lineup while giving you the distinct 18 mm look filmmakers reach for when they want scope, speed, and consistency in one lens.
