FÃRIN is a variation of FÃrinne – the old Irish word for “truth”. It means “that what is real” and signifies “being true to someone or something”. It represents a promise from Tokina to photographers to help them capture the truth in their images with this revolutionary new lens.

Lens CPU with optical correction data noticeably contributing to final image processing inside the camera.
