Tokina SZX 400mm f/8 Reflex MF Lens for Sony E, Black

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.
