Sony AF Reflex 500mm f/8

This camera glass has a unique design that uses mirrors to reflect light, making it more compact than traditional photo lenses. It has eight lens elements that are coated to reduce flare and improve contrast. The bokeh, or the quality of the out-of-focus areas in the photo, is generally good due to the circular aperture. The lens can be used in both autofocus and manual focus modes. The build quality is good and it feels sturdy in the hand. The resolution, or the ability of the lens to capture details, is decent, but not as good as some alternatives. The manufacturing time is not known, but it is believed to be a relatively old lens. The aperture, or the size of the opening that allows light into the lens, is fixed at f/8, which may limit its use in low-light situations. Overall, this photographic lens is a good option for those who need a compact and lightweight super telephoto lens, but may not be the best choice for those who prioritize resolution and low-light performance.
