FíRIN is a variation of Fírinne, the Old Irish word for "truth," which was coined during the Gaelic Revival in the late 19th century. It means "that which is real." It signifies "being true to someone or something" and represents a promise from Tokina to photographers to help them capture the truth in their images with this revolutionary new lens. The Tokina FíRIN 100mm F2.8 FE Macro is designed to help shoot artistic photos of people, landscapes, or objects at a very close distance, allowing you to see details that the human eye would hardly notice. It is a moderate tele macro lens with incorporated optics designed for Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras. The lens is capable of life-sized (1:1) reproduction at 30cm. Due to its macro specifications, the lens has extremely high resolution, low distortion, and low falloff. The fast aperture of f/2.8 provides excellent performance in low light conditions. Beautiful soft bokeh makes this lens an extremely attractive tool for macro, portraits, landscapes, art reproduction, commercial, and general-purpose shooting.
