===== GL Optics Tokina 18-35mm T2 ===== {{ :lens:sigma-18-35mm.jpg?direct&400|}} ==== Summary ==== Three years after the MkI, GL Optics doubled down on innovation with the MkII. This was more than just a rehouse; it was a complete rebuild, pushing the boundaries of what was possible. Gone were the limitations of off-the-shelf mechanics. We engineered our own iris drivers and helicoid focus systems, unlocking a coveted 300° focus throw. This meticulous precision offered filmmakers unparalleled control and accuracy for crucial focus pulling. We weren't just focused on mechanics; we hand-collimated each lens, achieving parfocality. This ensured consistent focus across the entire zoom range, a game-changer for filmmakers demanding seamless shot transitions. We expanded the front diameter to 95mm, giving us more space to work our magic. The MkII wasn't just a product; it was a turning point. We introduced three powerhouse lenses: the full-frame Tokina 100mm Macro, the versatile Canon 70-200mm zoom, and the now-legendary Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |GL Optics| | Series |Zoom| | Model |Tokina| | Focal Length |18-35mm| | Max Aperture |T2| | Min Aperture |-| | Format |-| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |-| | Focus Rotation |300°| | Iris Blades |-| | Optical Design |-| | Squeeze |-| | Front Diameter |95mm| | Filter Thread |-| | Focus/Zoom Rod |-| | Native Mount |PL| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |-| | Weight |-| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |aluminum| | Focus Drive |manual| | Iris Drive |manual| | Zoom Drive |manual| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: - \\ Release Date: - \\ Launch Price: - \\ Design Revisions:\\ ==== Service ==== Service Manual: (Insert link to manual here) \\ \\ Full CLA: **#hrs.**\\ Enter relevant notes here\\ ==== Notes ==== ==== Media ====
