With its lightweight and compact design, it fits easily inside a pocket or small bag and is suitable for travel, wildlife, and outdoor photography. This lens features a universal T-mount, and in this configuration includes an adapter for T-mount cameras.
Manual focus, catadioptric optical design telephoto lens with fixed f/8 aperture, compatible with select camera focus peaking systems and in-body multi-axis advanced image stabilization systems.
