Tokina SZ 500mm f/8 Reflex Overview

By B&H Photo's

Offering a compact alternative to standard telephoto lenses, the SZ 500mm f/8 Reflex MF Lens from Tokina is a 500mm catadioptric optical-design super-telephoto lens with a fixed f/8 aperture. With its lightweight and compact design, it fits easily inside a pocket or small bag and is suitable for travel, wildlife, and outdoor photography. This lens features a universal T-mount, and this configuration includes an adapter for FUJIFILM X-mount cameras.

Manual focus, catadioptric optical design telephoto lens with a fixed f/8 aperture that is compatible with select camera focus peaking systems and in-body multi-axis advanced image stabilization systems.
Multi-layer antireflection coating for efficient light intake and reduced flare, plus high-reflectivity silvered coating and a protective antioxidant layer on the back side of mirrored surfaces for long performance life.
With a field of view of 4.8° and 1:2.86 reproduction ratio can capture small objects, while the 500mm focal length reduces the possibility of casting a shadow on the subject.
Catadioptric design and construction creates a smooth and unusual donut-shaped bokeh.
Wide focus ring provides a smooth rotation range of 270°.

SZ 500mm is a universal mount, means it can be used on Canon 7D Mark ii?
Asked by: Neil
No, Tokina SZ 500mm f/8 Reflex MF Lens does not have a universal mount. Tokina prefixed the mount adaptor to the lens and removing it will void the manufacture warranty. The BH #TOSZMF500FE is dedicated to mirrorless cameras which comes on 4 different mounts. (Sony-E, Fuji-X, Micro four third and Nikon Z mount) Tokina also design this lens for DSLR cameras. You can use the option below directly on your Canon EF mount DSLRS.

Would this be a good lens for a solar eclipse? I have a Nikon Z6II
Asked by: Leah
The Tokina SZ 500mm f/8 Reflex MF Lens (Nikon Z Mount) is a mirror lens that gives you a lot of zoom for an inexpensive price. You will need a solar filter for this. Be aware of the onion effect that is sometimes visible with lenses of this design.
