Introducing AURORA LT Reengineered LVX AURORA De-Tuning on the original Tokina Vista housing.
This mod gives you the image characteristics of AURORA V1 and V2 without the need for rehousing. This is a budget friendly option for those who want the LVX look without investing on a limited collection set series.
V1 offers a moderate vintage character- it shines in the rendering of skin-tones which are softer and smoother. In terms of creative focus, it delivers a moodier and intimate focus that doesn’t take you on a full vintage swirl, but definitely gives you a vibe to play with, mild glooming -christmas ball effect- is also present.
V1 key features : Less contrast, mild acutance reduction rendering smooth skin tones, pleasing fall off and mild vintage bokeh, discreet swirling. V2 offers a prominent vintage character holding sharpness and resolution.
The V2 formula stands apart from all prior Tokina de-tunings made by other companies and by Tokina itself, taking this de-tuning on an even more vintage direction. V2 offers a dreamy fall off and bokeh swirl that enhances emotions in the image. Even with this heavier de-tuning the AURORA is still very usable for most commercial and narrative applications. Christmas ball effect present in bokeh glooming.
The V2 in numerical comparison has about 30% more vintage character than our V1. V2 key features : Lower contrast, acutance reduction rendering even smoother skin tones, enhanced fall off, wider gamma of colors in flaring, film-like blooming and increased bokeh swirling.
