Tokina 500mm f/8 Mirror Lens - T-mount, Canon FD, Nikon F, Pentax K, Minolta SR, Olympus OM Mount
A compact 500mm mirror lens providing long reach in a portable, fixed-aperture manual focus design.
The Tokina 500mm f/8 is a compact catadioptric (mirror) lens, offering a significant focal length in a lightweight and portable form factor. Due to its mirror design, it is much shorter than a conventional 500mm telephoto lens and produces characteristic 'doughnut' shaped bokeh in out-of-focus highlights. It is a fixed-aperture lens, meaning exposure must be controlled via shutter speed or ND filters.
Prospective buyers should check for 'mirror tilt' or alignment issues which can cause softness on one side of the frame. The focus ring should operate smoothly across the entire range, as these lenses require precise manual focusing. SDS checks for degradation of the silvered mirror surfaces and ensures the internal optics are free from the haze that can sometimes affect older mirror designs.
