Thanks to its catadioptric (mirror) design, it delivers a 500 mm focal length in a much shorter and lighter barrel than traditional telephoto lenses, making it more portable and easier to handle. It features a fixed f\/8 aperture, multi-coated optics to reduce flare and ghosting, and strong close-focus capabilities compared to many long lenses, so you can get interesting perspective on distant subjects. Due to its design, users should be aware of the very shallow depth of field, characteristic “donut” bokeh and the importance of accurate focusing—especially useful when mounted on a tripod or a stable support. Great value as a creative “reach” lens, the Centon 500mm f\/8 MC Mirror allows photographers to experiment with long-distance composition and dramatic perspective, offering interesting possibilities in contrast to standard zoom lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used - Excellent Condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eBody shows little signs of use.
