Overview

The Rokinon 500mm f/8.0 Mirror lens is a compact, lightweight manual focus lens with a fixed aperture. Optical performance is generally poor, with low sharpness and tricky focusing. Build quality is basic, typical of cheap third-party mirror lenses. It may suit budget-conscious photographers seeking extreme reach in good light, but those wanting better image quality should consider more expensive alternatives from major manufacturers (sybersitizen).
