Tokina - SZX 400mm f/8 Reflex MF Lens for Nikon Z

Just imagine capturing stunning, far-off scenes with a lightweight, compact lens that doesn't compromise on quality. The Tokina SZX SUPER TELE 400mm F8 Reflex MF lens, designed specifically for Nikon Z cameras, is a game-changer for travel and outdoor photographers. This super telephoto lens employs a catadioptric optical design, offering a constant F8 aperture, making it a compact and practical alternative to standard telephoto lenses. This lens is perfect for photographers who value portability without sacrificing performance. Whether you're capturing landscapes, street scenes, wildlife, or even sports events, the Tokina SZX SUPER TELE 400mm F8 Reflex MF lens delivers exceptional results. The lens's long 400mm focal length is achieved through a catadioptric optical design, which uses mirrors to fold the light path and reduce the physical size of the lens. This innovative design results in a lens that's about a third of the size of a conventional lens and significantly lighter, thanks to the use of mirrors instead of optical glass. Rediscover the benefits of reflex lenses with modern mirrorless cameras. The fixed aperture and manual focusing of the Tokina SZX SUPER TELE 400mm F8 Reflex MF lens are no longer inconveniences, thanks to the advanced features of contemporary mirrorless cameras. Focus assist functions like focus peaking make it easier to find the sharpest focus point, while built-in multi-axis advanced image stabilization systems help eliminate blurred images due to hand shaking. Plus, the wide ISO settings of modern mirrorless cameras allow for faster shutter speeds with minimal pixel noise. Despite its powerful 400mm focal length, the Tokina SZX SUPER TELE 400mm F8 Reflex MF lens weighs just 340g (without mount adapter), making it easy to carry in a pocket or small bag. This is a major advantage for travel photographers who prefer lightweight gear. The lens elements are coated with a multi-layer anti-reflection coating for effective light intake, resulting in faster shutter speeds in low light conditions. The mirrored surfaces of the lens elements feature a high-reflectivity silvered coating and a protective antioxidant layer on the back side for extended product longevity. The Tokina SZX SUPER TELE 400mm F8 Reflex MF lens also offers macro shooting capabilities, with a field of view of 6 Degree 8' (by frame diagonal) and a minimum focusing distance of 1.15m. This allows for a magnification of 1:2.5, enabling you to capture close-up images without casting shadows. The lens's optical construction creates a unique, donut-shaped and super smooth bokeh, beloved by many artistic photographers. The wide and excellent grip focus ring provides a smooth rotation range of 270 degrees, ensuring precise and easy focusing. The lens also supports 67mm filters and comes with a hood, allowing you to use creative filters to enhance your images. The T-mount standard (pitch 0.75mm, thread 42mm) ensures compatibility with any camera using mount adapters. In summary, the Tokina SZX SUPER TELE 400mm F8 Reflex MF lens for Nikon Z cameras is a versatile, high-quality, and lightweight lens that's perfect for photographers seeking to capture distant objects or scenes with precision and clarity.
