Canon has designed a pair of RF-mount catadioptric telephoto lenses that it says successfully corrects for field curvature while still being small, lightweight, and have a large aperture: a 300mm f/2.3 and a 400mm f/5.
Tokina will make its SZ 300mm PRO Reflex f/7.1, SZ 600mm PRO Reflex f/8, and SZ 900mm PRO Reflex f/11 reflex lenses available on February 3, 2023.
Kenko Tokina has launched an IndieGoGo campaign for its three compact super-telephoto APS-C prime lenses: the 300mm f/7.1, 600mm f/8, and 900mm f/11.
Kenko Tokina has announced three prime reflex telephoto lenses for APS-C cameras; a 300mm, a 600mm, and a 900mm.
Kenko Tokina has announced that the 500mm f/8 mirror lens that it teased last year is finally available and will be available for Canon EF, Sony E, Nikon F, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X, T-mount, and Micro Four Thirds.
We often get rare and unique equipment through our doors at KEH Camera; the kind of gear that many photographers often dream of seeing. One prime example of those unique pieces is this 1000mm f/6.3 Reflex lens from Nikon, circa 1959.
Remember when lenses had character? Tokina remembers. Last year, it released the SZX 400mm f/8 reflex lens which oozes personality that most modern lenses miss out on -- it's a tiny but mighty telephoto lens.
Kenko Tokina has published an updated lens roadmap that extends through 2022 and includes several lenses for a variety of camera mounts. Notably, the company plans to launch a 500mm f/8 reflex lens as well as six APS-C primes for a mix of Fujifilm X- and Sony E-mount.
A newly published patent suggests that Canon might be trying to bring a catadioptric optical system back to its camera lens lineup. If the "mirror lens" designs do materialize, we would likely see super telephoto lenses that are much smaller and cheaper than equivalent Canon lenses currently on the market.
Tokina has announced that its SZX Super Tele 400mm F8 Reflex MF lens that was originally announced in July of 2020 for Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, Fuji X, and Micro 4/3 mounts is now available for Canon RF and Nikon Z.
