Tokina has announced it’s now made three of its atx-m prime lenses available for Sony E mount APS-C camera systems: the atx- 23mm F1.4, 33mm F1.4 and 56mm F1.4.
Tokina’s atx-m nomenclature is used for the company’s interchangeable lenses designed exclusively for mirrorless camera systems. In the case of these three lenses, Tokina says it specifically went for a ‘small and lightweight’ design for pairing with APS-C camera systems.

The 23mm F1.4 lens offers a 35mm full-frame equivalent focal length while the 33mm and 56mm offer 50mm and 85mm equiv. focal lengths, respectively. All three of the lenses use a stepping motor for fast and quiet autofocus, feature a click-less aperture ring for quiet operation when shooting video and use a 52mm front filter thread so filters and attachments are interchangeable. Tokina also notes the lenses fully communicate with Sony cameras and support Sony’s five-axis image stabilization on compatible cameras.
