Designed as a premium lens for full frame Nikon DSLR users is this Tokina Opera 50mm f/1.4 FF Lens for Nikon F Mount. At this focal width it’s one of the most popular standard primes, giving users an ultra bright f/1.4 aperture for low light work and depth of field control. Whether you shoot portraits, travel, street photography or video the Opera 50mm delivers accomplished results across the frame. The optical formula includes some of Tokina’s most advanced technology to render high resolution detail with a number of special elements in the lens.

Key features
- Premium optical performance
- Next generation Tokina ELR coating
- Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture
- Dust and weather resistance
- Silent and precise AF
- 9-bladed round-shaped diaphragm
A complex optical design with 15 Elements in 9 Groups includes SD (Super-low Dispersion) glass and one aspherical glass element. These are responsible for controlling aberrations in the image while the bright 9-bladed aperture renders smooth bokeh and soft out of focus areas. If you shoot in low light situations you’ll gather light for handholding where other lenses fall short. The silent AF motor lends itself to stills photography and will also be appreciated by videographers making this an extremely versatile Nikon F Mount lens.
Tokina Opera 50mm f/1.4 FF Lens for Nikon In More Detail
Superior Optical Performance And Natural Bokeh
In order to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations and deliver sharp edge-to-edge images at all apertures the opera 50mm F1.4 FF (Nikon) optical construction includes 3 lens elements moulded from SD (Super-low Dispersion) glass and one aspherical glass element in the rear-focus lens group. The lens incorporates a 9-blade, round-shaped diaphragm for naturally beautiful bokeh. Tokina also incorporates an electric diaphragm specific to the Nikon mount for more accurate and precise aperture control. Fast and quite AF along with superior optical performance at all apertures and focus points makes this lens suitable for a variety of photographic genres and scenes.
Next Generation Tokina ELR Coating
The newly developed, Tokina ELR (Extremely Low Reflection) Coating was engineered to specifically target the visible light spectrum as it enters and passes through the lens. This drastically reduces the reflection ratio when compared to traditional Tokina lens coatings. This results in dramatically reduced ghosting and flare when shooting in challenging lighting conditions especially when strong light sources are within the image.
Dust And Weather Resistant Sealing
The lens employs the latest advancements in dust-resistance and weather sealing targeting 8 areas in the lens construction most vulnerable to dust and water penetration. When coupled with a dust and weather sealed DSLR camera, the lens will not let you down even in adverse weather conditions.
Focus Ring Rotation
The directional rotation of the focus ring matches the proprietary direction of Nikon lenses.
Silent And Precise AF Drive Module
To ensure fast and accurate AF the opera 50mm F1.4 FF incorporates a high-speed, ring-shaped ultrasonic motor for near-silent operation. This provides photographers and filmmakers a valuable tool when speed and quiet are critical features to capturing their vision.
