Hello photography enthusiasts!
We are Kenko Tokina, an optical lens manufacturer based in Japan. We have developed new lenses that will bring your photography to a new level.

The SZ 300mmPRO Reflex F7.1 MF CF, SZ 600mmPRO Reflex F8 MF CF and SZ 900mmPRO Reflex F11 MF CF are fully manual lenses, which adopt a catadioptric-type optical design. These types of lenses are commonly called reflex or mirror lenses.

These lenses come in 300mm, 600mm and 900mm focal lengths, and are exclusively designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras. They incorporate integrated mounts for Sony E, Canon EF-M, and FUJIFILM X.

Thanks to a catadioptric optical design these lenses are very light weight and super compact. These products allow you to enjoy the world of super tele photography, and is a perfect option for users who are looking for affordable super tele photo lens.

Tele photo type lenses are a really attractive and desirable type of lens for many photographers, because they capture objects in minute details that the human eye cannot see. However, these lenses are traditionally large, heavy and expensive. They are not a lens that can be enjoyed casually. Tokina’s compact and lightweight mirror lenses are the solution to this problem.

In the past many manufacturers developed mirror lenses. However, film and DSLR cameras at that time had low resolution, no zoomable rear display and image stabilization, and limited ISO range. This made manual focus mirror lenses extremely difficult to use.

Fortunately, camera technology has shown amazing progress in the past 10 years. Better sensor performance, larger ISO ranges, and image stabilization and focus assist features allow users to capture photographs with mirror lenses that were previously impossible. 

We believe that the value and viability of mirror lenses should be reconsidered in contemporary photography. Therefore, we have renewed our lens technology and development. Our new mirror lens options will allow you to embark on a new tele photo journey.

The Tokina SZ PRO series features three ultralight and compact mirror lenses. No need to carry a large camera bag any more. You can enjoy super tele photography casually and comfortably.

The largest model in the Tokina SZ PRO series, the 900mm, has an overall length of 168mm, and is significantly more compact compared to optical tele lenses of a similar focal length.

Our 300mm variant fits in one’s pocket and is smaller than a tall size cup of coffee.

Tokina’s compact mirror lens design was realized by incorporating mirrors on the front and rear side of the barrel.

You can see one of these mirrors when peering inside. In standard optical lenses, light passes through the lens and enters the camera sensor. However in mirror type lenses, light enters the lens and reflects off mirrors twice before reaching the sensor. By “folding” the light path twice, the focal length shortens, which allows for a smaller lens design. 

Mirror lenses’ optical system is known as a catadioptric system. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope use this catadioptric system, albeit on a much larger scale.

Better Suppression of Chromatic Aberrations

Tele photo lenses are prone to chromatic aberrations (CA) due to their complex optical design. To reduce CA, manufacturers incorporate additional color correction lens elements into the already bulky and heavy construction.

On the contrary, mirror lenses mainly use mirrors combined with a few lens elements. This optical combination greatly suppresses chromatic aberrations. We went beyond this with the Tokina SZ PRO series by fully optimizing the optical configuration so that CA were further reduced.

Low Level Flare and Ghosting

Classic mirror lenses are known for their weakness to flares and ghosting, which occurs when light finds tiny gaps to leak directly onto the sensor.

The Tokina SZ PRO series is built with a shielding ring (baffle) which prevents light leaking directly onto the sensor. This suppresses flares and ghosting, and maintains contrast even without a lens hood under general shooting conditions. 

*When shooting in conditions with severe backlighting, attaching the hood is recommended.

The Tokina SZ PRO series is compatible with APS-C Sony E, Canon EF-M, FUJIFILM X mount cameras through an integrated mount design. This mount design allows one to maintain stable rendering quality, and makes attaching or removing the lens easier.

The Tokina SZ PRO series are manual focus lenses.

Tokina’s interchangeable lenses usually come equipped with a focus ring that rotates 45° to 200°. High grade cinema lenses have larger rotating angles of up to 300°.

The Tokina SZ PRO series provides 270° focus rotation angle, that allows precise focusing operations within a shallow depth of field.

Mirror lenses are known for their unique donut-shaped bokeh, which result from the way they render light sources in off-focus areas. 
Some mirror lenses render incomplete donut-shaped bokeh, which appear as a C-shape. The Tokina SZ PRO series has been designed to reduce vignetting, thus achieving beautifully complete bokeh rings.

The Tokina SZ PRO series performs well not only in long distance shooting, but also in macro photography.
Common tele photo lenses do not allow for macro shooting. However the maximum magnification of the Tokina SZ PRO series is 1:2.5 (0.4x), large enough to enjoy macro photography.

Make Daily Scenery Dramatic

The best thing about tele photo lenses is that they “capture what the human eye cannot”. With the Tokina SZ PRO series everyday scenery will appear dramatic and iconic.

Super Compression Effect

One of the effects tele photo lenses boast is compression, which is when the background appears closer/larger compared to foreground objects. By using the compression effect, you can enjoy capturing enchanting images that are out of this world.

Street Snap with Tele Photo Lenses

The Tokina SZ 300mmPRO Reflex F7.1 MF CF lens is so compact that it can be easily used for street snapping. Just imagine a person walking the street and shooting with 300mm super tele lens in a very casual manner!

Spotting with Tele Photo Lenses

The outdoors has never been so personal!
The Tokina SZ PRO series is highly recommended for spotters and wildlife photographers. Trains, airplanes and animals are only a few suggested genres. The 300mm, 600mm and 900mm range allows distant and out-of-reach objects to become more personal.

Tokina is a global brand that manufacturers interchangeable camera lenses.

Tokina prides itself in having a manufacturing history that dates back to 1950s. Tokina specializes in high-quality lenses for digital single lens reflex (DSLR) and mirrorless cameras.

The very first lens we designed was the 135mm f/3.5 and 100mm f/4 for HANIMEX (Australia) in 1960. Our long history in cultivating the development of technologies has expanded since then, and can be felt in our current line-up.

Since the Tokina TM500 (500mm f/8 MF) mirror lens released in 1984, Tokina has been a company at the forefront of manufacturing mirror lenses.

In 2012 we released the Tokina Reflex 300mm F6.3 MF Macro, followed by the SZX SUPER TELE 400mm F8 Reflex MF in 2020 and the SZ Super Tele 500mm F8 Reflex MF in 2022.

The Tokina SZ PRO series is created based on the concept of “super tele photo lenses for casual enjoyment”, to satisfy the curiosity of those who love photography and want to fulfill their photo lifestyle.

It is a lens that allows you to experience a world you have never captured before, and take pictures with expressions never used before.

All Tokina brand products are distributed by Kenko Tokina Co., Ltd., who specializes in developing photographic accessories, optical products and astronomical telescopes.
