Tokina Vista 85mm T1.5

Tokina Vista 85mm T1.5

The Tokina Cinema Vista 85mm T1.5 is a classic portrait and close-up prime that delivers elegant subject isolation with a natural sense of compression. On full-frame and large-format sensors, the 85mm focal length provides a flattering perspective for faces and upper-body framing, emphasizing emotion and detail without feeling overly tight. With a fast T1.5 aperture and a 46.7 mm image circle, the lens supports low-light shooting, selective focus work, and smooth, cinematic depth transitions with refined highlight rolloff.

Optically, the 85mm maintains the Vista line’s signature rendering: controlled contrast, gentle transitions into focus, and rounded bokeh produced by a 9-blade iris. Focus breathing is minimized, keeping composition stable during pulls—particularly valuable in dialogue and dramatic close-ups. Mechanically, the lens adheres to the standardized Vista design, featuring a 114 mm front diameter, matched gear ring placement across the lineup, and a precise 300° focus rotation for accurate, repeatable marks. Dual-side engraved scales aid crew readability, and the solid all-metal construction ensures reliability in demanding production environments. The 85mm T1.5 is a trusted choice for character-driven work, offering a cinematic, intimate look that integrates seamlessly into the Vista set.
