Zero curvature of field, impressive resolution
The Tokina FíRIN 100mm F2.8 FE Macro optical design suppresses curvature of field down to zero while maintaining high resolution natural color reproduction across the entire image along with extremely low distortion, low falloff and perfectly controlled chromatic aberration. Multi-coating applied to optical elements effectively controls flare and ghosting.
1:1 true macro lens
The Tokina FíRIN 100mm F2.8 FE Macro is capable of life-sized (1:1) reproduction at 30cm. This allows photographers to have a little working distance from the subject and still obtain impressive magnification. Having some working distance is important when shooting easily startled subjects such as insects.
Magnificent bokeh for portraits
The Tokina FíRIN 100mm F2.8 FE Macro excels at shooting portraits. Due to its fast aperture and mechanical properties, the lens creates magnificently soft bokeh in both the background and foreground while easily keeping a comfortable distance from the model.

This, combined with the fast f/2.8 aperture, allows the lens to be used in the widest variety of shooting settings, both indoor and outdoor. Incorporated 9 bladed diaphragm creates beautiful, almost circular-shaped background highlights up to f/5.6 with effectively surpassed longitudinal chromatic aberration.Perfect compatibility with the camera The Tokina FíRIN 100mm F2.8 FE Macro performs with perfect compatibility in terms of design and form factor when attached to a Sony A7 series body.
