Tokina 1.22x VV-65 Expander PL-LPL
By enlarging the projected image circle by 1.22x, the expander allows compatible PL lenses to cover sensors up to 60mm. This makes it a useful tool for productions working with modern large-format systems, giving cinematographers more flexibility when combining established lens sets with current-generation cameras.
Its optical construction is designed to deliver strong imaging performance with minimal compromise. The expander uses 5 elements in 4 groups and helps maintain sharpness, contrast and color consistency across the frame. With only around 0.57 stops of light loss and support for lenses with apertures up to F1.4, it is well suited for high-end cinema use where both image quality and lens compatibility are essential.
