Rated 5 out of 5

Nice gear with an impressive price point

This a really nice manual focus lens with an impressive reach, at aprox 1200 mm FF equivalent it can be a fun piece of gear to use.

Fun Lens

What a fun lens, especially for the price! Is it as sharp or contrasty as some of my other lenses, like my Fuji GF 120mm f/4 Macro? No, but it's still really fun! It's like being a photo sniper and the Bokeh ringlets are cool!

Good build quality, decent tradeoffs for the price.

I initially bought this with a Fuji X mount. 600mm on a crop sensor is pretty hard to work with, and it has a short focus throw which further complicates things. I bought the adapter to use it on my Sony A7 III full frame body with IBIS, and it works just fine. All metal, good build quality. Thread-on lens hood is kind of a bummer. Definitely not for beginners.

Small Lightweight Long Telephoto

My five star rating is based on the low price of this lens. Here are the plusses: 1. Small size and weight even for a mirror lens. 2. Very smooth focus ring (important for this long focal length). 3. Good sharpness and illumination for a mirror lens (there is some vignetting, but way less than other mirror lenses I have used) The resolution does not match standard telephoto lenses but is good enough. Minuses: 1. The lens shade does not reverse mount on the lens for storage. 2. It is tricky to mount the lens on the camera most of the exterior is the focus ring and moves when twist the lens. There is only a thin 5mm fixed section at the base of the mount. 3. Some people might be put off by the donut shaped out of focus highlights. I enjoy them.

Tokina SZX400mm Lens

I am awaiting the TA-0015 Adapter for use on my MFT Olympus OM-D EM5 Mark II camera. Visual inspection of the lens finds it well made, solid and nicely finished. I am anxious to test its performance.

Excellent product

Put this on my Canon 5D Mark IV camera and tested it out on a few shots. Did as expected and more. This was worth the wait.

Put this on my Canon 5D Mark IV camera and tested it out on a few shots. Did as expected and more. This was worth the wait.

While the Tokina SZX SUPER TELE 400mm F8 Reflex MF is a super telephoto lens, it boasts a catadioptric optical design and a constant F8 aperture, offering a compact and lightweight alternative to traditional telephoto lenses. This high-quality, durable lens is designed with the active travel photographer in mind, making it ideal for capturing outdoor landscapes, wildlife, and bird photography.

The innovative design of this lens allows for a long 400mm focal length, achieved through a unique mirror lens structure. This structure reflects light back and forth between the ends of the lens, effectively halving the tube length and reducing the physical size of the lens to about a third of a conventional lens. This results in a versatile, lightweight body that's easy to carry, making it a reliable choice for photographers on the go.

The SZX 400mm F8 Reflex MF lens is designed to work seamlessly with modern mirrorless cameras, offering easy focusing with focus assist functions like focus peaking. The lens also benefits from the in-built multi-axis advanced image stabilization systems of mirrorless cameras, reducing the risk of blurred images due to hand shaking.

This lens features multi-layer anti-reflection coating on the lens elements for effective light intake, resulting in faster shutter speeds in low light conditions. The mirrored surfaces of the lens elements incorporate a high-reflectivity silvered coating and a protective antioxidant layer on the back side, ensuring a longer product lifetime.

With a field of view of 6 Degree 8' (by frame diagonal) and a minimum focusing distance of 1.15m, this lens also offers macro shooting capabilities. The optical construction of the lens creates a unique donut-shaped and super smooth bokeh, appealing to many artistic photographers.

The Tokina SZX SUPER TELE 400mm F8 Reflex MF lens is equipped with a wide and excellent grip focus ring that provides a smooth rotation range of 270 degrees, ensuring precise and easy focusing. The lens also supports 67mm filters and comes with a hood, allowing photographers to use creative filters to enhance their images.

Finally, this lens adopts a T-mount standard (pitch 0.75mm, thread 42mm), making it compatible with a variety of camera brands and models. This versatility further enhances its appeal to photographers seeking a compact, lightweight, and high-performing lens for their travel and outdoor photography needs.
