Tokina SZX 400mm f8 Reflex MF Lens with Mount Adapter for Nikon F

The Tokina SZX 400mm f8 Reflex MF Lens is designed for creativity. The telephoto lens has an advanced lens structure which provides pin-sharp images, unique "doughnut" bokeh and the flexibility to shoot both distant and macro subjects with precision. The complex mirrored lens structure also significantly brings down the size and weight of the lens, enough to take what would usually be a lens that needs its own bag, into an everyday kit-bag-friendly telephoto lens. Various multi-layer, anti-reflection and high-reflectivity silvered coatings help to provide sharp images with reducing glare and chromatic aberrations. There are several kit options available to suit your camera system.

Lens Construction

The inner-workings of this lens are advanced and provide a unique shooting experience. The lens uses a combination of 3 lenses silvered on the outside of the glass to reflect light back and forth between the ends of the lens. This structure bends light which in turn, halves the length needed for the barrel. It also signcantly reduces the weight of the lens because the mirrors are much lighter than the optical glass.

Each lens element is coated in multi-layer anti-reflection coatings which enable effective light intake. The mirrored surfaces of the lens elements have been paired with a high-reflectivity silvered coating and a protective antioxidant layer on the backside which help to reduce chromatic aberrations and protect the lens.

Whilst other, more traditional 400mm lenses are large and heavy, this lens turns that on its head. This Tokina SZX 400mm f8 Reflex MF Lens weighs in at just 340g and is small enough to fit in your kit bag along with a wide range of other gear. Compared to the Canon EF 400mm f5.6 L USM Lens which is 26cm long and weighs a hefty 1.25kg, this lens is tiny!

Macro Photography

This lens is primarily a telephoto lens but can easily be utilised as a macro lens. It offers a field of view of 6°8' (by frame diagonal) and minimum focusing distance of 1.15m. In addition, it provides a magnification ratio of 1:2.5 which enables the capture of an object with size 6x9cm on full-frame. As a result, you can play with macro photography and avoid capturing shadows whilst lining up your close-up shot. Equally, thanks to the unique Donut bokeh effect, you can get creative, setting up ethereal miniature scenes.
