Description
Constant T3.0 aperture: This means that the lens’s aperture does not change when you zoom in or out. This is helpful for maintaining consistent exposure throughout your shots. For example, if you are shooting a scene with a wide shot and then zoom in to a close-up, the exposure will not change. This is important for ensuring that your shots look natural and professional.
Parfocal design: This means that the focus does not change when you zoom in or out. This is helpful for smooth, uninterrupted shots. For example, if you are shooting a scene where the camera is tracking a subject as they move, you can zoom in or out without having to worry about the focus changing. This can help to keep your shots looking smooth and professional.
Geared focus, aperture, and zoom rings: These rings are designed for use with follow focus systems. Follow focus systems are devices that allow you to adjust the focus of a lens smoothly and precisely. This is important for maintaining consistent focus throughout your shots. The Tokina 50-135mm T3 Lens’s geared focus, aperture, and zoom rings make it easy to use with follow focus systems, which can help you to get the most out of your shots.
Click-less aperture ring: This allows you to make smooth iris pulls without any audible clicks. This is helpful for audio recording. When you are recording audio, you want to avoid any noises that could be picked up by the microphone. The click-less aperture ring on the Tokina 50-135mm T3 Lens allows you to make smooth iris pulls without any audible clicks, which can help to keep your audio recordings clean.
Two aspherical lens elements: These elements help to reduce distortion and improve image quality. Aspherical lens elements are designed to correct for spherical aberration, which is a type of distortion that can cause images to look blurry or distorted. The Tokina 50-135mm T3 Lens’s two aspherical lens elements help to reduce this distortion, which can improve the overall image quality of your shots.
Super-low dispersion lens elements: These elements help to reduce chromatic aberration and improve image clarity. Chromatic aberration is a type of lens error that can cause images to look blurry or have colored fringes. The Tokina 50-135mm T3 Lens’s super-low dispersion lens elements help to reduce this aberration, which can improve the overall image clarity of your shots.
LDS (Lens Data System) support: This allows the lens to transmit metadata to compatible cameras. This metadata can be used for lens metadata tagging and lens control. Lens metadata tagging is a process of adding information about the lens to your footage. This information can be used to track the lens that was used to shoot a particular shot, which can be helpful for post-production. Lens control is a process of controlling the lens’s settings from the camera. This can be helpful for situations where you need to make quick changes to the lens’s settings, such as during a live broadcast.
114mm front diameter for matte boxes: This allows the lens to be used with professional matte boxes. Matte boxes are devices that are used to protect the front of the lens and to hold filters. The Tokina 50-135mm T3 Lens’s 114mm front diameter makes it compatible with a wide variety of matte boxes, which can give you more flexibility in your shooting.
39.4″ minimum focus distance: This allows you to get close to your subject for dramatic close-ups. The Tokina 50-135mm T3 Lens’s 39.4″ minimum focus distance allows you to get close to your subject for dramatic close-ups. This can be helpful for creating a sense of intimacy or for isolating your subject from the background.
