Introduction

AT-X comes from our original concept of “Advanced Technology-Extra.” This vision encompasses a special group of lenses that are manufactured without compromise, using the most advanced design and fabrication technologies available. The use of unique and unprecedented optical systems independently pioneered by Tokina has made advanced features, high performance, lightweight, and compact designs a reality. Of course, we have also given full consideration to ergonomics and handling. To any user, AT-X means excellent performance through superior technology.

Visionary technology makes the difference

Tokina’s proprietary AT-X technology has evolved toward optical perfection for more than 20 years. Since our mission began in 1981, we have made continuous advances. Each new model is a further refinement in a continuing legacy of excellence in design and materials. The current AT-X PRO series continues this evolution of excellence by using the most state of the art technology available anywhere.

More Quality than Meets the Eye

The Tokina difference comes from special material selection and assembly technology that employs micron-unit quality control. This ensures optimum consistency while maintaining the highest quality for each and every lens. That’s why both professionals and knowledgeable photography enthusiasts rely on Tokina lenses.
