Description — Tokina 50-135mm T2.9 Mk II
The Tokina 50-135mm T2.9 Mk II Cinema ATX is a PL Mount telephoto zoom lens covering a focal length range of 50mm to 135mm with a constant maximum aperture of T2.9 across the full zoom range. Built specifically for Super 35 cinema cameras, it is firmly positioned in the professional digital cinema space. The manual focus design caters to dedicated focus pullers and cinematographers who require precise, repeatable focus control on set.
With a weight of 1,530g, this is a substantial lens that is best suited to shoulder rigs, tripods, or other cinema support systems. The 86mm filter thread adds flexibility for on-set filtration, and the absence of image stabilization reflects its intended use on stabilized rigs rather than run-and-gun handheld shooting. The PL Mount is the de facto standard for professional cinema cameras, making this lens a natural fit for high-end production environments.
Whether you are shooting narrative film, commercial work, or documentary content on a Super 35 camera, the consistent T2.9 aperture throughout the zoom range simplifies exposure management across varied focal lengths.
