The Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF is a super-compact, fully manual Lens with a catadioptric design. It offers a focal length of 600 mm and is specially designed for mirrorless APS-C cameras. The Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF has integrated mounts for Sony E, Canon EF-M and Fujifilm X.
Thanks to its catadioptric optical design, this Lens is very light and super compact. With this product you can enjoy the world of super telephoto photography and it is the perfect option for users looking for an affordable super telephoto lens.
We are convinced that the value and functionality of mirror lenses in modern photography should be rethought. That is why we have renewed our lens technology and development. Our new mirror lenses allow you to embark on a new journey into telephoto photography.
Easier focusing
Focus assistance functions such as Focus Peaking help you find the sharpest focus point.
Less shake
Thanks to the integrated multi-axis image stabilization systems of mirrorless cameras, blurred images caused by hand shake are a thing of the past.
No more slow shutter speeds
The latest mirrorless cameras with extended, wide ISO settings allow photographers to choose faster shutter speeds with minimal pixel noise in the image.
Super-compact super telephoto lens
The Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF is an ultra-light and compact mirror lens. You no longer need to carry a large camera bag around with you. Enjoy super-telephotography in a relaxed and comfortable way.
Tokina's compact mirror lens design has been realized by incorporating mirrors on the front and back of the body. With conventional optical Lens, light passes through the lens and onto the camera sensor. With mirror lenses, however, the light enters the lens twice and is reflected by mirrors before reaching the sensor. By "folding" the light path twice, the focal length is shortened, which enables a smaller lens design.
The optical system of mirror lenses is called a catadioptric system. The Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope use this catadioptric system, albeit on a much larger scale.
Improved optical performance
Bettersuppression of chromatic aberrations
Telephoto lenses are prone to chromatic aberrations (CA) due to their complex optical design. To reduce these, manufacturers integrate additional color correction lenses into the already bulky and heavy construction.
In contrast, mirror lenses mainly use mirrors in combination with a few lens elements. This optical combination significantly reduces chromatic aberrations. With the Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF, we have gone one step further and fully optimized the optical configuration to further reduce chromatic aberrations.
Weak stray light and ghost images
Classic mirror lenses are known for their susceptibility to stray light and ghost images, which occur when light passes through tiny gaps directly onto the sensor.
The Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF is equipped with a shielding ring that prevents light from falling directly onto the sensor. This suppresses stray light and ghost images and maintains contrast even without a lens hood under normal shooting conditions.
*When shooting in conditions with strong backlighting, it is recommended to attach the lens hood.
Integrated mount
The Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF is compatible with APS-C cameras with Sony E-, Canon EF-M and Fujifilm X-Mount thanks to its integrated bayonet. This bayonet design enables stable reproduction quality and makes it easy to attach and detach the lens.
Easy to focus
The Tokina SZ PRO series includes manual focus lenses. Tokina interchangeable lenses are generally equipped with a focus ring that can be rotated by 45° to 200°. High-quality cinema lenses have larger rotation angles of up to 300°.
The Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF offers a focus rotation angle of 270°, which enables precise focusing processes with a shallow depth of field.
Perfect round donut-shaped bokeh
Mirror lenses are known for their unique, ring-shaped bokeh, which is created by reproducing light sources in out-of-focus areas. Some mirror lenses produce an incomplete, ring-shaped bokeh that appears as a C-shape. The Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF has been developed to reduce vignetting and thus achieve beautiful, complete bokeh rings.
Great macro functions
The Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF not only impresses with long-distance shots, but also with macro photography. Conventional telephoto lenses do not allow macro shots, but the maximum magnification of this lens is 1:2.5 (0.4x) and is therefore sufficient for macro photography.
Make everyday scenery dramatic
The best thing about telephoto lenses is that they "capture what the human eye cannot". With the Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF, everyday landscapes become dramatic and iconic.
Enjoy the compression effect
One of the effects of telephoto lenses is compression. This makes the background appear closer/larger compared to the foreground objects. With the compression effect, you can capture enchanting images that are out of this world.
Wildlife photography
Wild nature has never been so close! Enjoy wildlife photography with the mirror lenses Tokina SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF.
