Samyang 300mm f/6.3 Reflex Overview

A uniquely compact telephoto option, this Reflex 300mm f/6.3 UMC CS Lens from Samyang is a mirror lens specifically designed for APS-C-format Sony A mount DSLR cameras. Its Cassegrain design enables it to achieve a 450mm 35mm-equivalent focal length perspective within a sleek and lightweight lens design that is significantly smaller than a traditional 300mm lens.

An Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) has been applied to the eight-element-in-eight-groups lens construction, in order to minimize surface reflections and ghosting for more contrast-rich imagery. Additionally, the reflex lens design also helps to nearly eliminate chromatic aberrations for greater clarity and color accuracy around subject edges. It features a fixed f/6.3 aperture and manually focuses as closely as 3.6'.

Samyang 300mm f/6.3 Reflex Reviews

I love this lens!

I always wanted a 250 to 300 mm reflex lens so when B&H camera offered the Samyang reflex 300mm lens I jumped at the chance to get one. It came within a few days after I ordered it and I put it on my Canon D50 to get a few test shots. I was surprised how nice it was to focus and how sharp for a reflex lens this Samyang 300 mm is. I thank Samyang for making this lens and I thank B&H Photo for offering it as a cost effective, quality telephoto lens.

About as good as a reflex lens can get

For the money, this is a great telephoto lens. You sacrifice a little sharpness with the reflex, but it still makes great images. Well worth the money for a telephoto lens.

I have a Canon M50 and mount this lens on it with the shooting set to M, but no response in shooting, why?
Asked by: Cary
You would need to set the camera in the Menu in the Custom Functions section to shoot without a lens. The function is called Release shutter w/o lens, it needs to be set to enable.

question

Is this lenses all manual (focus and iris)? Can it be used with BlackMagic 2.5k mount MFT?
Asked by: Anonymous
The BlackMagic Cinema MFT mount camera requires use of manual focus and manually adjustable aperture lenses. The black Samyang Reflex 300mm f/6.3 ED UMC CS will mount on the camera but will not allow you to adjust the aperture of the lens as this lens has a fixed aperture of f6.3. The benefit of the camera using the MFT mount is the availability of adapters which will allow one to mount various manual focus/manual aperture lenses to the camera.
