The Sony 500mm f/8 Reflex Super Telephoto lens is the world's only super telephoto reflex lens with auto-focus capability. Its reflex design gives this amazing super telephoto lens a short barrel and compact, lightweight design, ideal for field work on wilderness and nature assignments and its auto-focus capability makes it unique among reflex lenses of this class. Mounted on the Sony® α (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera, this lens provides a 750mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and takes advantage of Sony's in-camera Super SteadyShot® image stabilization system to reduce blur by compensating for shaky hands.
Its reflective optical system provides super-long telephoto performance in a compact, lightweight design that's easier to carry on field assignments.
It's the world's only super telephoto reflex lens with auto-focus capability, making it ideal for wildlife assignments where events happen fast and you must react quickly to catch the shot.
Reflective optics eliminate the chromatic aberrations that can affect image quality in refractive telephoto lenses, so images are extremely sharp and clear.
For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing.
At fixed f/8 aperture, the exposure is controlled by varying the camera shutter speed and using a neutral-density snap-on filter.
