About this item

  • SUPER ZOOM: Manual focus 500mm (750mm on Canon APS-C), this lens is not only a superb long-range choice but also performs well in a variety of scenes from sports to surveillance to everyday shooting. Feel free to explore the capabilities of this lens.
  • ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION: Featuring an optimized design, this lens a series of 4 optical glass elements in 4 groups to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations. An anti-reflective coating suppresses lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity. The lenses housing is built with a full metal body and rear mount allowing it to withstand wear and tear much better than plastic lenses while commanding a rugged, solid feel.
  • LOW DISPERSION - One extra-low dispersion (LD) element is incorporated within the design that helps to greatly reduce chromatic aberrations for increased clarity, sharpness and color accuracy when photographing in strong lighting conditions. Ultra nano multi-coating eliminates lens element reflections and reduces ghost and flare.
  • BUILT-IN TRIPOD COLLAR: Allows the lens to be mounted to a tripod for greater stability and easier focusing. When the weight of a lens reaches a certain threshold, it's no longer safe to mount the camera to a tripod as the weight of that lens would put too much strain on the lens mount.
  • COMPATIBILITY: Can be used on all Canon APS-C and full frame cameras including EOS 80D, 77D, 70D, 60D, 60Da, 50D, 40D, 30D, 20D, 7D, 6D, 5D, 5DS, 5DS R, 1D X, Mark II III IV, Rebel T7i, T6s T6i, T5i, T5, T4i, T3i, T3, T2i, T1i, SL2 and SL1.


Product Description

Opteka 500mm f/8 Preset Telephoto Lens - Black

Opteka 500mm f/8 Preset Telephoto Lens Banner

Surprisingly compact and lightweight for its focal length, the Opteka 500mm f/8 Super Telephoto Lens excels on long backpacking excursions, just as easily as it does backyard stargazing, and handheld shots from the bleachers (using fast shutter speeds). Constructed using a simple, digitally optimized optical design comprised of 4 elements in 4 groups, the lens is intended for clear, distant scenes especially when atmospheric conditions are favorable, as well as isolating nearby subjects with an impressively shallow depth of field. In order to suppress flare and ghosting while maintaining color fidelity, each lens element has had our Super HD Multicoatings applied. In addition to the lens' durable, lightweight aluminum alloy housing, an integrated tripod collar to minimize motion blur when photographing at slower shutter speeds. The collar is also adjustable, enabling you to adjust the orientation of your camera without having to change the position of your tripod or monopod.

Keeping in the spirit of an all-manual shooting experience the wide, non-slip rubber manual focus ring has a long focus throw, which aides in fine tuning your focus more precisely. While the lens also requires exposing your scene manually (either in "M" manual exposure mode or "A" aperture-priority mode), with some exposure know-how "S" Shutter Priority will also work in many daylight situations with Auto ISO enabled.
