About this product

Product Information

Whether you plan on sightseeing or just want to take quality photos from far away, the Nikon 500mm f8 lens gives your Nikon camera that extra edge, allowing you to take crisp and clear photos. It features both auto and manual focus, making it perfect for use by both professional and amateur photographers. This particular mirror lens also runs on the lighter side for Nikon lenses, which makes it appeal to many frequent travelers. It is the lightest of the reflex-Nikkor line, eliminating the need to use a tripod when using it for long shots. For that reason, many nature photographers rely on it when they are outdoors trying to capture wildlife. Those wanting to take their camera out in the field also love the lightweight design. This reflex-nikkor weighs approximately 2 pounds, while most other compatible lenses weigh in closer to 10 pounds. Another advantage to taking the Nikon 500mm f/8 out in the wild or even just using it for photos on the beach is the fact that it comes with a 82mm front filter and a 39mm rear filter to protect the lens against elements like dirt and dust. Its size fits to all Nikon digital cameras, and it results in sharper pictures compared to some of the older reflex-Nikkor lenses as well as other comparable models. Since it is a mirror lens, the Nikon 500mm f/8 lens allows for a wider range of images that are hard to capture using other equipment. The mirror has a coated reflection to result in more refined photos, also featuring a five-degree picture angle to give you the best view from any side. Having an f/8 aperture allows you to take many photos in a small window of time. This comes in handy in many situations, like photographing sports, animals, or children. An f/8 aperture is also helpful if you plan on taking a road trip and want to try and snap a few photos along the way without stopping and getting out of the vehicle. Overall, the f/8 aperture coupled with a focal length of 500mm gives you the opportunity to capture clear shots of the surrounding landscape as you travel and sightsee. The new construction of the Nikon 500mm f/8 has eliminated the dreaded hot spot or bokeh donut effect many photographers complained about from earlier Nikkor lenses comparable to this model. For that reason, this lens responds better to different lights and is used in high light settings like a bright sunny morning or at night, lighted by natural moonlight. Images also have a much better contrast quality than those taken with earlier lenses, and it includes filters to get even more effects. Since it works with all Nikon cameras, many camera owners have chosen to use this Nikkor as their main lens.

The seller was excellent and communicated every step of the transaction, delivery, and follow-up on my purchase. The item is exactly as described. It looks completely new—everything was very well wrapped and carefully packaged. I've used the camera for about a month now, and I haven't had any issues with it. I highly recommend working with this seller. Thank you, Shin san!

Excellent shopping experience. Item bought was according to description and in good condition as expected. Shipping was effective and the item was safely packaged, even with a nice greeting in the package. Left me with a nice unboxing experience. 😃 Good and proactive communication by the seller providing me with all necessary info on the shipping. First test shots with the lense revealed it to be in excellent condition!

The item was not received in the condition that I believed it was described of "Near Mint". The item was extremely well packaged. The seller agreed for a RTS and provided a return label without any problems. The seller also very quickly credited my account upon receiving the item back. The seller communicated with me extremely well throughout the interaction. I would not hesitate buying from this seller again.

    Size and weight a big advantage over other 500mm lenses.

    The Nikkor 500mm f/8 Reflex C has the quality of a Nikon. It is really built well, very impressive. Optical quality appears to be excellent. The lens is manual focus only and has a fixed f/8 aperture, so it can be used in either manual or aperture priority exposure mode. So far I am pleased with the build and optical quality.

    Nikkor mirror lens brings super telephoto power to my lens collection.

    The Nikkor 500mm mirror "C" lens is a brilliant long focus lens that focuses easily with digital Nikon bodies. The C lens is the older 1970's version which is multicoated but not as compact as the last version from the mid 80's. This Nikkor is very well made and does weigh over two pounds. It is not auto focus and works best on a sturdy tripod for long range photos of birds and wildlife. On my D200 the effective focal length is equivalent to 750mm and that is a super telephoto length. These lenses exhibit a "hot spot" in the center which is less of a problem with a digital camera than it is on film since the sensor only uses the center portion of the image circle! Shooting with a super telephoto lens is very demanding since there is no depth of field and fast moving subjects are hard to ...

    Seriously, this is a must have lens for nature photography.

    I'm just now writing a review because I wanted to use it a little first. It takes some getting used to, it helps to shoot through the viewfinder instead of using the flip down screen on the back of the camera because of the very high magnification. You can find your subject much faster. I use it on a Nikon D5000. I am used to shooting with a fully manual camera, Olympus OM1, but have been getting comfortable with the automatic cameras. Manual focus, which I often use as the auto focus often doesn't focus on what I want it to focus on, is difficult with the new cameras. The viewfinders are smaller that they used to be and the screens used on the back do not have enough resolution to determine if the focus is good. With this lens, I put the camera in manual mode, set the shutter speed ...

    500mm mirror reflex

    This is going to be a love / hate relationship - not going to be much gray area in between for most users. It fits the new DSLR's with modifications to the non ai versions (check to see if it's been "modded" first) or maybe you get lucky and it's a newer version. (Orange stripe around lens usually means it's good to go out of the box) Bokeh is unique, has fall off at the periphery, fixed aperture (Cadiotropic lens), and depth of field is TIGHT. But I love it. Gives a unique perspective and "look" you just can't get with any other lens. Is it for everybody? Nope! But if you want a really lightweight high power lens that's actually more useful in the digital world than it ever was in film this may just be a lens to add to your collection.

    For wildlife photography where weight is an issue this lens is excellent.

    I bought this lens because I was going on a safari in Botswana and needed a big telephoto. The choice was renting a standard Nikon 400mm or 500mm lens weighing in at around 9 pounds (weight was a factor) and $1500 for a month-long rental or buying the 500mm reflex, which weighs a bit under two pounds, for a little under $400. Clearly there were disadvantages to the reflex. It is slow, hard to focus in a hurry and a little less sharp than the standard Nikkor telephotos. Still, the price and weight differences more than made up for those advantages in my mind. I used a monopod with the lens and on the whole it worked well. In 10 days I took over 1000 photos with the lens and was generally happy. I did not have much trouble with the dreaded "donut boke" for which these lenses are ...
