The Tokina Cinema Vista 21mm T1.5 is a wide-angle prime that hits a unique sweet-spot focal length—wider than the standard 24 mm zone yet narrower than ultra-wide territory—allowing cinematographers to capture immersive storytelling environments without sacrificing realistic proportions. With a fast T1.5 aperture, a large Ø46.7 mm image circle covering full-frame and large-format sensors, and optics built for 8K resolution capture, this lens delivers both cinematic depth and large-format flexibility.
Optically, the 21mm brings the hallmark traits of the Vista line: a 9-blade iris for smooth, pleasing bokeh, very low focus breathing for stable framing during focus pulls, and high-resolution modern optics optimized for minimal distortion and chromatic aberration. Mechanically, it inherits the consistent form-factor of the Vista series—114 mm front diameter, matching gear-ring positions, long ~300° focus rotation, and dual-side engraved markings—so lens swaps on set are seamless and follow-focus rigs stay in alignment. If you’re aiming to elevate your wide-angle toolkit with a lens that balances cinematic versatility and production-ready design, the 21mm T1.5 is a compelling choice.
