When capturing distant subjects or exploring the world of telephoto photography, the SZ 500mm f/8 Reflex MF Lens for Canon EF-M, Black, is an exceptional choice. This super telephoto lens, inspired by the catadioptric optical design of the renowned Hubble Space Telescope, offers a powerful 500mm focal length with a constant F8 aperture. Designed with the modern photographer in mind, this lens is a compact and lightweight alternative to traditional telephoto lenses. It's perfect for those who value portability, such as travel photographers or outdoor enthusiasts capturing landscapes, wildlife, or bird photography. The SZ 500mm f/8 Reflex MF Lens is a mirror lens, a design that utilizes a combination of lenses and mirrors to reflect light back and forth within the lens. This innovative structure reduces the physical size of the lens to about a third of a conventional lens, making it incredibly lightweight and portable. Despite its compact size, this lens doesn't compromise on performance. It's designed to work seamlessly with the latest mirrorless cameras, taking advantage of features like focus assist and advanced image stabilization systems. These features, combined with the wide ISO settings of modern cameras, ensure sharp, clear images even in challenging conditions.The lens elements are coated with a multi-layer anti-reflection coating for effective light intake, resulting in increased shutter speed 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.The SZ 500mm f/8 Reflex MF Lens also offers macro shooting capabilities, with a minimum focusing distance of 1.7m and a magnification of 1:2.86. This allows photographers to capture close-up images without disturbing their subject. The lens produces a unique, donut-shaped bokeh, favored by many artistic photographers. Thanks to its long focal length, it can create images with a super compression effect, making the background appear closer and larger compared to the main object. The lens comes with a hood and supports 72mm (front) and 30.5mm (rear) filters, allowing photographers to use creative filters for artistic purposes. It also adopts a T-mount standard, making it compatible with any camera using mount adapters. In summary, the SZ 500mm f/8 Reflex MF Lens for Canon EF-M, Black, is a versatile, lightweight, and high-performance lens that's perfect for photographers seeking to capture distant subjects or explore the world of telephoto photography.

This is a great 500mm telephoto for the price. I work's very well with my Nikon Z30.

Great inexpensive 500mm for outdoor work.

What I like most:

1. price affordability
2. size and weight make this lens portability for long hiking and nature photography
3. constraint forces me to be creative

Weaknesses

1. focus is acceptable not tack sharp
2. hard to focus in backlighting
3. manual focus is acceptable and Sony A7 manual assist works but Sony A7Rii's manual focus magnification does not work 

I recommend this lens when you want to explore abstract landscape and backyard bird photography when most are not flying.

limited capable superzoom can become creative lens

When I heard about Tokina SZ 500mm, I was reluctant but decided to give it a try since it meets my priorities: size, weight and price. For last 5 days, I have tried the Tokina SZ 500mm for seascape, people, and pets. The results  exceed my expectation despite some of the lens' weaknesses.

What I like most about the lens:

* size and weight make this lens haulable for long hiking

* price is affordable

* Versatile super lens in abstract landscape, for instance to shoot mountain top of glaciers or rice/wheat fields from a distance point of view; backyard songbird photography (not in-flight) and flower photography

What I do not like

* Hard to focus on remote object in strong lighting condition (backlighting). Focus ring is not accurate
* Mirror is susceptible to humid condensation
* Cleaning mirror can create streaks of dirty residues
