The FíRIN is a variation of Fírinne, the old Irish word for "truth," which was created during the Gaelic Revival in the late 19th century. It means "that which is real." It signifies being true and represents a promise from Tokina to photographers to help them capture the truth in their images with this revolutionary new lens.

The Tokina FíRIN 100mm f/2.8 FE Macro is designed to assist in taking artistic photographs of people, landscapes, or objects at very close range, allowing you to see details that the human eye could hardly perceive.
