Last question, I think. I currently use, for ...

Last question, I think. I currently use, for "distance" photo, a 55-200 Nikkor. Going from this to this 400mm, is it too much of a difference regarding quality and distance? (not sure how much difference there is between 200 and 400mm). Additionally, in image the lens seems "small", when comparing to vivitar 500mm. Is it that size or you have to "open" it?
Asked by: Felipe
This lens would be double the magnification of your 55-200mm at the 200mm end. This lens would be more compact that the Vivitar 500mm lens. Please feel free to reach out to us directly via Live Chat or e-mail to [email protected] with any other questions you may have.

Regarding previous question between vivitar 500mm and this one, how much is the difference on optical quality, when saying this one is better? And how much distance difference does the 100mm make?
Asked by: Felipe
This lens is multi-coated against lens flare and reflections, which makes it better than the Vivitar 500mm T-Mount lens. Having the added range on the Vivitar lens may not seem like much, but it could help when you need to get a bit closer to the subject.

Have a Nikon D3100. Would this one work for it? Do I need something else? Additionally, is this one better than the vivitar 500mm? Which one is better for landscape photos, or moon photos? or wildlife (say, birds) from afar?
Asked by: Felipe
To use this lens on the Nikon D3100 in order to shoot subjects that are very far, the Vello T-Mount Lens to Nikon F-Mount Camera Lens Adapter, BH # VELANFT is needed. Although the optical quality is better on this lens, it would offer less range versus a Vivitar 500mm T-mount lens. https://bhpho.to/2KGl6ow

I already have T adapters for several cameras (e.g., Canon 5DIV and RF). Will this lens work with those adapters or only with Tokina's adapter?
Asked by: Edward
This would be compatible with the T adapters that you already have.

Can the focal length of this lens be increased with a teleconverter?
Asked by: Paul
This may be used with teleconverters that have no optical tube in their design, but not traditional teleconverters (such as Nikon's own 1.4x and 2.0x) that have them.

The Tokina SZX 400mm f/8 Reflex MF Lens for Canon EF has a Canon EF mount. It is not a T mount lens.
