Product Description

Bring distant subjects directly into view with the Canon 500mm f/8 Reflex Lens for Canon FD mounts. Built using an innovative catadioptric mirror system, this super-telephoto optic folds the light path internally, giving you massive reach while remaining surprisingly compact and lightweight compared to traditional 500mm refractive lenses. Designed specifically for classic Canon FD-mount manual focus cameras, it provides wildlife, sports, and outdoor photographers with a powerful super-telephoto solution that is easy to pack and handle in the field.

Engineered with Canon’s precision optics, the catadioptric design virtually eliminates secondary chromatic aberration, delivering sharp, color-accurate images free from harsh color fringing. The lens operates at a fixed f/8 aperture, featuring a rear drop-in filter holder for convenient exposure control using neutral density or color filters without altering your setup. In addition to its impressive reach, the catadioptric mirror construction generates unique, signature doughnut-shaped out-of-focus background highlights that add a distinctive aesthetic flair to your images.
