The first lens in the new "atx-m" series of interchangeable lenses for Tokina's mirrorless cameras. The "m" in atx-m stands for "motif" [motivation / creative action], and means "users can inspire creative action." The lineup will be different from the high-performance full-size dedicated lens "FiRIN" series, and we will develop products with high cost performance.

The atx-m 85mm F1.8 FE is a medium-telephoto lens that supports the 35mm format, and demonstrates its power in snap photography utilizing the brightness of F1.8. The lens configuration consists of 10 elements in 7 groups. SD glass [FK01] is arranged in the rear group to correct chromatic aberration. Both high contrast and beautiful bokeh are achieved.
