Optical Design with 3 Aspherical Elements and a Convex Front Element
The advanced optical design incorporates three high-precision aspherical elements.
The aspherical elements significantly reduce spherical aberrations and geometric distortion.
The distinctive bulbous front element helps maintain low distortion.
It ensures even illumination and high sharpness across the entire frame.
It renders perfectly straight lines and natural geometry in demanding architectural compositions.
It guarantees crystal-clear images with rich detail from the center to the edges of the sensor.
Low Dispersion Elements, Multi-Coating, and 9-Blade Bokeh
The lens includes three low-dispersion glass-molded elements.
This design minimizes color fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range.
The individual optical elements feature a specialized multi-coating.
The coating effectively suppresses flare and ghosting when shooting against the light.
It enhances contrast and color fidelity in brightly lit environments.
The 9-blade aperture produces pleasing bokeh when using shallow depth-of-field techniques.
Silent Drive Focusing System, DC Motor and GMR Sensor
The autofocus system is driven by an advanced DC motor.
It is paired with a dedicated Silent Drive unit for exceptionally quiet, smooth operation.
It incorporates an advanced GMR magnetic sensor for precise AF position detection.
The internal focusing design keeps the lens’s overall length constant.
It responds quickly and consistently for both still photography and video recording.
It ensures reliable focusing without vibration or unwanted mechanical noise.
One-Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism and Built-In Lens Hood
The lens features Tokina's innovative One-Touch Focus Clutch mechanism.
It allows instant switching between autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF).
The photographer changes modes simply by pulling or pushing the focus ring back and forth.
It provides natural, direct tactile control without having to search for switches on the lens barrel.
It features a built-in petal hood.
The hood protects the convex front element and prevents stray light from causing flare.
