Tokina Opera 50mm 1.4 FF, Nikon

Nikon F, full size
Currently out of stock

Product details

Tokina is launching a new family of full-frame lenses for DSLRs with the opera 50mm F1.4 FF. Three SD lens elements (Super-Low Dispersion) as well as an aspherical glass element in the back-focusing lens
group are supposed to ensure particularly high imaging performance in the 50mm now presented. The lens is sealed against dust and moisture.

The opera uses a ring-shaped ultrasonic motor in the autofocus drive module and a newly developed Tokina ELR coating. The lens is effectively sealed to prevent dust and moisture from entering the body.

Excellent optical performance and natural bokeh

For effective suppression of aberrations as well as optimal sharpness throughout the image, the optical construction of the Tokina opera 5omm F1.4 FF consists of three SD (Super-Low Dispersion) lens elements plus an aspherical glass element in the back-focusing lens group. Round aperture blades provide naturally beautiful bokeh and the electric diaphragm built into the mount allows for better and more accurate aperture control. Consistent AF performance from close-up to infinity, coupled with superb image sharpness right to the edges, even at open aperture, makes this lens ideally suited to a wide range of photographic genres and tasks, getting the maximum imaging performance out of modern full-frame DSLR cameras.

Exclusive next-generation Tokina ELR coating

Newly developed exclusively for the opera series, the Tokina ELR (Extremely Low Reflection) coating greatly reduces the average light reflectance in the visible light spectrum compared to the performance of a conventional coating. This technology significantly minimizes ghosting and flares even in highly illuminated environments.

Lens sealing against dust and moisture penetration

The lens is sealed at a total of eight joints to prevent dust and moisture from entering the body. When used with a DSLR camera that is also sealed, the opera can be used without problems even in unfavourable shooting conditions such as drizzle or damp fog.

Focus ring rotation

The direction of the focus ring rotation of the Tokina opera 5omm F1.4 FF is the same as that of the original Nikon and Canon lenses.

Quiet and precise AF drive module

To ensure fast and accurate AF, the Tokina opera 5omm F1.4 FF features a powerful, ring-shaped ultrasonic motor for virtually silent operation. A wide range of shots that once seemed impossible can now be achieved with this lens.

Knapp 1000 Euro kostet das lichtstarke Tokina mit Autofokus, hier an der Nikon-KB-Kamera getestet. Bei Blende 1,4 zeigt das 50er Schwächen, besonders beim Kontrast - was für diese Blende aber typisch ist. Bei Blende 2,8 und 5,6 messen wir jedoch sehr gute bis zu absolute Top-Werte über das ganze Bildfeld. Damit erhält das Tokina eine Empfehlung.
