Overview

The Rokinon 500mm f/6.3 MC ED Mirror is a compact, lightweight mirror lens with smooth, well-damped manual focus. Optical quality is typical of mirror lenses: sharpness is limited by the fixed f/6.3 aperture and donut bokeh, though it offers a fast f/6.3 for a mirror lens. Build is good, but no lens hood is included. It suits budget-conscious photographers needing a long telephoto for daylight use, but not for critical sharpness or low light.
