Vintage lenses are known for their reduced contrast and imperfect bokeh rendering. The Vista-P gives you similar image characteristics but in a modern housing and an ultra fast T1.5 allowing for more options in low light or shallow depth of field.
The Vista-P primes from Tokina share a physical resemblance to the existing Vista lenses, yet their optical performance diverges significantly. While retaining the familiar appearance of renowned vintage lenses like the Helios-44 or Petzval with their distinctive swirl-type distortion at the frame's edge, the Vista-P primes deliver a cleaner and more contemporary overall aesthetic. Moreover, they offer superior resolution surpassing that of conventional vintage lenses.

These lenses boast minimal focus breathing and have a image circles of 46.7mm, capable of accommodating all large-format cinema cameras. Additionally, they maintain consistent features like the 114mm front diameter and a nine-blade iris.
