Get ideal results for field work on wilderness and nature assignments with the SAL-500F80. To reduce blur, this lens takes advantage of Super SteadyShot® image stabilization system.
Compact Reflex Design
Its reflective optical system provides super-long telephoto performance in a compact, lightweight design that’s easier to carry on field assignments.
Auto-Focus Operation:
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.
No Chromatic Aberration
Reflective optics eliminate the chromatic aberrations that can affect image quality in refractive telephoto lenses, so images are extremely sharp and clear.
Focus Hold Button
For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing.
Shutter-speed Exposure Control
At fixed f/8 aperture, the exposure is controlled by varying the camera shutter speed and using a neutral-density snap-on filter.
