For photographers seeking a compact, lightweight, and versatile lens, the Tokina SZX 400mm f/8 Reflex MF Super Telephoto Lens is an ideal choice. This lens, designed with a catadioptric optical design, offers a constant f/8 aperture and a super telephoto focal length of 400mm, perfect for capturing detailed images of distant subjects such as landscapes, wildlife, and sports events.The Tokina SZX 400mm f/8 Reflex MF lens is a perfect companion for travel photographers, thanks to its compact and lightweight design. Despite its small size, this lens can capture far-off subjects that standard zoom lenses can't reach, making it a versatile tool for various photographic genres, including landscape, street photography, macro, and sports.This lens's optical performance is enhanced by its long 400mm focal length, achieved through a catadioptric optical design. This design incorporates a combination of three lenses silvered on the outside to reflect light back and forth, effectively cutting the tube length in half. This results in a lens that is about a third of the size of a conventional lens, making it easy to carry in a pocket or small bag.The Tokina SZX 400mm f/8 Reflex MF lens is also designed to work seamlessly with contemporary mirrorless cameras. With features like focus peaking and advanced multi-axis image stabilization systems, photographers can easily find the sharpest focus point and avoid blurred images due to hand shaking. Moreover, the lens's high-reflectivity silvered coating and protective antioxidant layer on the mirrored surfaces ensure effective light intake and a longer product lifetime.The lens also offers macro shooting capabilities with a field of view of 6 degrees 8' (by frame diagonal) and a minimum focusing distance of 1.15m. This allows for a magnification of 1:2.5, enabling photographers to capture close-up images without casting shadows. The lens's optical construction creates a unique donut-shaped and super smooth bokeh, favored by many artistic photographers.The Tokina SZX 400mm f/8 Reflex MF lens features a wide and excellent grip focus ring that provides a smooth rotation range of 270 degrees, ensuring easy and precise focusing. The lens also supports 67mm filters and comes with a hood, allowing photographers to use creative filters to enhance their images. With its T-mount standard (pitch 0.75mm, thread 42mm), this lens can be attached to any camera using mount adapters, making it a truly versatile addition to any photographer's gear.

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.

Nice gear with an impressive price point

It's good. Not a high dollar Sony, but good for the money

good for the money

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!

Fun Lens

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.

Good build quality, decent tradeoffs for the price.

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.

Small Lightweight Long Telephoto

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.

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.
