Tokina ATX-I 100mm Plus f2.8 FF Macro Canon EF

The Tokina atx-i 100mm F2.8 FF MACRO is a compact medium telephoto macro lens for full-frame film and digital SLR cameras. With lightweight, compact, high resolution, fast aperture, low distortion, low fall-off and beautiful soft bokeh, this lens is extremely attractive tool for macro, portraits, landscapes, street art, commercial and general shooting.

Optical performance

To achieve exceptional optical performance in still and video shooting, two aspherical glass elements and two ultra-low dispersion glass elements have been used to minimize distortion, manage spherical aberration and astigmatism while achieving excellent edge-to-edge resolution and contrast of the entire image. Great efforts have been made to control light fall-off at all focal lengths.

Mechanics

The front of the lens has a 55mm filter thread that expands during focusing but does not rotate. This allows various filters to be used including polarizers for landscape or product photography.

A focus area limiter switch on the side of the lens locks the lens focus in or out of the macro focus area to prevent excessive AF hunting.

The direction of the manual focus ring corresponds to the proprietary direction of Nikon and Canon lenses.

The Tokina atx-i 100mm F2.8 FF MACRO Nikon F bayonet is equipped with a manual aperture ring based on the Ai AF Nikkor D-Type* lens standard, which allows this lens to be used with a variety of cameras including old Nikon film cameras.

High-light functions

• A focus range limiter switch for an effective focusing routine.
• The direction of the manual focus ring corresponds to the proprietary direction of Nikon and Canon lenses.
• Manual aperture ring (Nikon F-mount only) based on the standards of Ai AF Nikkor D-Type lenses for use with a wide range of cameras, including old Nikon film cameras.
• One-touch focus clutch mechanism for easy switching between autofocus and manual focus.

For environmental portraits

Thanks to the classic extendable barrel focusing system, the lens produces a wonderfully soft bokeh both in the background and foreground. The focal length of 100 mm is short enough to allow easy and natural communication with the model, creating a sense of comfort and creativity. Combined with a fast f/2.8 aperture, the lens can be used in a wide variety of shooting settings, both indoors and outdoors, and

the integrated 9-blade diaphragm creates beautiful, almost circular background accents up to f/5.6 with effectively outperformed longitudinal chromatic aberration.

For distant landscapes

We have developed the Tokina atx-i 100mm F2.8 FF MACRO not only for macro photography. Challenge yourself in distant landscapes by using 100mm focal length to capture interesting objects in the foreground and beautiful compressed landscapes in the background. The lens is designed for this genre of photography by realizing impressive color reproduction and high resolution capabilities.

For macro photography

The Tokina lens is capable of life-size (1:1) reproduction at 30 cm. This allows photographers to have a small working distance to the subject and still achieve impressive magnification. A certain working distance is important when photographing easily startled subjects such as insects. Designed for full-frame sensors, the focal length equivalent of a DSLR with an APS-C sensor is 150 mm for Nikon cameras and 160 mm for Canon. This offers the advantage of taking macro shots with 1.5x-1.6x greater magnification than a full-frame camera.

For video & time-lapse photography

Depending on your purpose and expression, the Tokina atx-i 100mm F2.8 FF MACRO can be useful for commercial close-ups* and time-lapse photography thanks to its excellent color rendition when filming in LOG and exceptional sharpness.

Due to its excellent macro capabilities, constant aperture and manual focus ring (Nikon F-mount), Tokina atx-i 100mm F2.8 FF MACRO is widely used for image processing and automatic inspection in the field of factory automation (FA).

The compactness and lightness of the Tokina atx-i 100mm F2.8 FF MACRO are highly appreciated in implantology and aesthetic dentistry for dental photography.
