    This is such a great and in-depth review for someone beginning to invest in Cine Lenses. Coming from the still photography background, of course its a whole new-related world. Your review not only give pertinent info, but also instructs on certain features of a cine lens of which I had no prior knowledge. Thanks

    Been on the fence about cine zooms recently but Tokina stands out - we were looking at the ATX series but with full frame the vista is just so powerful and as a pair with A&B seems logical

    Nice going! I have the stills versions of their AT-X Cinema line-up, so the 11-16, 16-28 and 50-135mm f/2.8, they make for a great and consistent set. Especially nice to have because I mostly shoot 4/3 systems and they're definitely on the wider end compared to my other set of zooms: Nikon AF(-S) Nikkor ED 17-35mm f/2.8 D, 28-70mm f/2.8 D, 80-200mm f/2.8 D. Of course, the Sigmas are looking interesting as well! But Cinema Vista will be hard to beat, especially shooting bigger sensors.

    Hi Kelly! Thank you for this very interesting review of the 16-26 MKII. I'll really appreciate you took the time. Reviews of the Tokina Cinema zooms are really rare. Myself I've got 2 of the Tokina Cinema 50-135mm T3 and the Tokina Cinema 11-16 T3. It seems the first generation of Tokina Cinema zooms are suffering a bit from series spill. My first 50-135 has a bit of grinding in the focus ring at some point and the lens support part is a bit out of the horizontal plane so I can't use a screw-in support. My second one has none of those issues but when I open up the iris from 4.0 to 3.0 there is no more change in brightness, although that's a difference of ~ 3/4 stop. Focus breathing is quite strong on both. But they are my work horses on the URSA Mini 4.6k when I do a lot of fast paced shooting for corporates. Love them for interviews. The bokeh is really creamy as you mentioned with the 16-28 MKII too. Wide open they tend to get a bit of highlight haliation, just like some of the old Angenieux lenses.
    I am looking forward to Tokina's upcoming 11-20 Cinema zoom, which I hope will replace my beloved 11-16 with its wider range and hopefully less color fringing.
    When it comes out - are you planning to test a sample of that one too?

    Out of curiosity, had you had a chance to compare the CV 16-28 to the ATX 16-28? I particularly like the option of changing lens mounts on the CV, but I don't know if it's worth the added costs, given my need. So I'm curious if you have any thoughts on other potential downsides/compromises in the ATX.

    • @NiceLadyProductions
      @NiceLadyProductions  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey, no. I haven’t tried the original version. I did speak with a Tokina directly and was provided with the list of differences as I explain in the video. It’s the same glass, apparently there is a bit more lens flare on the original version and the new one is all metal. The pros of the first version are the price (I’ve seen it for $1500 off the already cheaper price at B&H Photo, which is a steal). The other plus is the original is lighter. :)

    • @interlockpicturesinc.2189
      @interlockpicturesinc.2189 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey, thanks for your quick reply. I did see the current sale on at B&H, which is part of the reason I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the ATX. With (nearly) the same optics for about half the price, it's a bit easier a decision to make, y'know?

    Thanks for the review. I noticed you reviewed also the Xeen lenses from Rokinon. Which one do you think is better, the Xeen or the Cinema Vista?

    • @NiceLadyProductions
      @NiceLadyProductions  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cinema Vista lenses in my opinion far exceed the quality of the Xeens, particularly wide open and they show less chromatic aberrations and breathing. Xeens are a good price.

    • @0311uli
      @0311uli 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@NiceLadyProductions That's what I thought. I just got a 20hr Sony F3 which has similar Super35mm sensor coverage of your Red Raven, and was debating between getting this Cinema Vista, the Xeens, the Sigma Cine Zoom 18-35 or the Fujinon MK 18-55mm. I know the Xeens are cheap, though at the moment, I'm mostly going to be a one man show until I'm financially able to get second person as an AC, hence the Zooms are better solution for me.

      @@0311uli Oh! Sounds like you scored a nice camera. I'm filming with the Fuji 18-55 tomorrow. The Sigma 18-35 is a great all around lens but it's not parfocal, so when you zoom in or out and focus, you have to refocus at the other end of the zoom.

    • @0311uli
      @0311uli 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@NiceLadyProductions That's what most have mentioned. I've known the Sony F5/F35/F55 and the high end F65. Though, never heard of the F3 til the last semester I went to Film School. I checked some videos on Vimeo and was shocked at the footage its able to reproduce. I was looking for second hand Canon Cinema cameras on Adorama and came across this one. I thought oh no, I'm not letting this puppy get away even if the ergonomics are not on par to today's film cameras. I had to call them to make sure I wasn't seeing things, and they said, oh yeah its basically brand new. I jumped for it. With the lenses, I agree with the Sigma 18-35mm. Someone shot a short with the F3 and that lens, and both together create some lovely images, though its a bummer that's not a parafocal since I was finding contradictory information about that. Though, I might consider it still since its the cheaper of the zooms since I'd love to get the Cinema Vista or the Fujinon though oh their costing a pretty penny. Please let me know your experience with the Fujinon.

    How do you feel this compares to the Sigma 18-35 cine? Seems that they are in direct price point competition for similar features. The focus throw is shorter on the Sigma, has a nice 82 mil filter thread, and electronic pins for camera feedback. Be nice to hear your thoughts or maybe even see a lens comparison from you.

    • @NiceLadyProductions
      @NiceLadyProductions  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The main difference besides the size is the Tokina lenses are par focal and the Sigma is not, so zooming and not having to refocus is a nice bonus.

      @NiceLadyProductions  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly? I would rather have the Tokina than the Xeens. No lens swapping and I don't find the Xeens usable at T1.5 (not sharp enough for a good image). Lens support on the GH5 would be important for either.

    I completely love the look. However, the lens flares on the Schneider Xenon FF are amazing little spaceships of beauty that make me warm and fuzzy inside. Tokina's are very monochromatic, and a bit disapointing.
