Japanese optical manufacturer Kenko Tokina has officially launched the new atx-i 100mm f2.8 Macro FF lens for full-frame DSLR cameras from Nikon and Canon.

Tokina atx-i 100mm f2.8 Macro FF has been designed with 9 elements in 8 groups. The new Canon EF lenses ’ multi-coatings render natural color with extremely low light falloff, perfectly controlled chromatic aberration, flare, and ghosting.

Despite the new Nikon 100mm lens bringing a large aperture of f/2.8, Tokina is still confident that the image quality is very good, achieving sharpness, high contrast even at the maximum aperture. It has a “flat-field” optical design that suppresses the field-of-view curvature to zero. This means the lens yields excellent edge-to-edge sharpness at all focus distances and apertures.

This new canon 100mm macro lens has 9 diaphragm blades, and f/2.8 aperture makes it easy to focus in low light and renders soft beautiful bokeh. It will be an excellent choice for portraits, landscapes, video, and small world photography.
