FíRIN is not only for photography. With a press of the De-Click button on the aperture ring the lens declicks the aperture mechanism making it suitable for cinema/video use.

The Tokina Firin 20mm f/2 MF FE might just be the ideal wideangle prime for Sony Alpha 7 users, says Andy Westlake

Cannot understate this lens... performs beautifully optically, warm with nice color rendition, beautiful bokeh, sharp but not too sharp, and closed down gives a very great sun flare. I am in love with this lens for wide angle photography and cinematography.

Tokinas new Autofocus 20mm firin lens has a round tulip style hood, part# BH-623, that fits the manual 20mm firin perfectly. Since both lenses share identical optics there are no issues.

Very nice build. Sharp edge to edge. Focus and Iris are smooth for video. I sold my 16 to 35mm f4 to get this. F2 is great and for video this is much better.

Sharp at any setting and some distortion on an a7sii.

Lens fits all of my needs on paper, and many reviewers express wonders with this lens. My experience however was different in that both copies of the lens I purchased were defective to varying degrees.

If you've read any of the reviews then you know this lens is highly regarded. The MTF chart is impressive and so is the price, and I'm in the market for an astro lens so this seemed like the perfect deal.

Great image with few wide angle shortcomings and artefacts and sexy video like lens hood - stick this on yer gimbal! Nice manual feel that works well for someone used to a proper video lens. Everything rotates the right way but shame the iris ring is where the focus ring should be.

WOW..again! Image quality that leaves one drooling. This lens is incredibly sharp from f2. I had to look at the exif data several times to check the aperture.The entire frame is tack sharp at f5.6-f8, however the central 90% of the frame is still tack sharp at f2..amazing glass.

I love it! The lens is well built. It is very sharp and has very minimal distortion for a wide angle lens. What sweetens the deal is the fact that it's a full manual lens so photography becomes more challenging on my Sony A7iiWhen I say the lens is well built.
