Tokina Unveils atx-m 23mm, 33mm and 56mm f/1.4 Lenses for Sony E-Mount
Tokina has announced three of its atx-m prime lenses are now available for Sony E mount APS-C camera systems: the atx- 23mm f/1.4, 33mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.4.
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 company adds that the lenses are designed for amateurs or semi-professionals and are suitable for both stills and video use. The trio also features fully camera body communication to access five-axis image stabilization and all three have clickless aperture rings to smoothly control aperture manually when shooting video.
Tokina atx-m 23mm f/1.4
The atx-m 23mm is constructed of 11 elements in 10 groups, including two low-dispersion (SD) elements, and uses a nine-blade aperture diaphragm.
While the lens is light and compact, it is still made of metal parts, specifically the barrel and the lens mount. The 23mm focal length translates to about 35mm on a full-frame camera. Tokina says this particular lens is ideal for street photography, landscapes, and portraits.

Tokina’s 33mm f/1.4 has an angle of view that is approximately 50mm on a full-frame camera and is designed to serve as a reliable portrait and landscape lens. It features an aperture range of f/1.4 through f/16 via a nine-bladed diaphragm. The company used a 10 element in nine group design that features a single low-dispersion glass element.

The atx-56mm lens is constructed of 10 elements in nine groups, including one SD element, and uses a nine-blade aperture diaphragm. The aperture range is the same as its two contemporaries, f/1.4 through f/16, and it also uses the same nine-bladed diaphragm design, has an angle of view that is approximately 85mm on a full-frame camera and is billed as an excellent portrait lens that works for both stills and video
