Description — Tokina 100mm T2.9 Macro
The Tokina Cinema AT-X 100mm T2.9 Macro is a prime cinema lens built around a PL Mount and engineered to cover the Super 35 format. With a fixed 100mm focal length and a maximum aperture of T2.9, it is purpose-built for macro telephoto cinematography, offering consistent exposure control in a format tailored to professional digital cinema cameras. The lens operates with manual focus only, making it well suited to rigged productions where follow focus systems manage critical focus work.
There is no image stabilization, so it is designed to perform in controlled, supported shooting environments. Weighing 1.3kg, the lens has a substantial, cinema-grade build. An 82mm filter thread allows straightforward integration with cinema filtration systems, while the Telephoto / Macro classification makes it a specialized tool for capturing fine detail at close range.
