EspañolTOKINA
'Tokina Co., Ltd.' is a Japanese manufacturer of photographic lenses and CCTV security equipment.
Tokina was founded by a group of Nikon engineers who left Nikon to concentrate on the development of high-quality zoom lenses, which were rare at the time. Originally an OEM manufacturer only, in the early 1970s they began selling lenses under their own Tokina brand.[1]
In recent years, Tokina has enjoyed a partnership with Pentax, with whom they have jointly developed new lenses, such as a 12–24 mm zoom and a 10–17 mm fisheye zoom.[2] These are available under the Pentax brand in Pentax K mount and under the Tokina brand for other lens mounts.
Tokina's glass is made by Hoya Corporation, the world's largest producer of optical glass.
