This manual-focus lens, a common presence in the Spiratone catalog, was part of a family of affordable, Japanese-made telephoto lenses that provided an accessible way to reach distant subjects. Its rugged, all-metal construction and simple optical design prioritize durability and function over modern refinements. With its \"Plura-Coat\" anti-reflection coatings, the lens aims to reduce flare and improve contrast, a welcome feature for its time, and its bright f\/6.3 aperture allows for shooting in more challenging light conditions than the slower, ubiquitous mirror lenses of the same period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Spiratone 400mm is a prime example of a pre-set aperture lens, featuring two aperture rings: one to set the desired shooting aperture and a second to quickly open or close the diaphragm for focusing and metering. This unique two-ring system provides a hands-on, deliberate shooting experience. Its T-mount design—a universal screw mount—allows it to be adapted to a wide variety of film and digital SLR cameras, making it a surprisingly versatile and fun lens for modern photographers looking to explore vintage optics. With an included tripod collar, it's well-suited for stable, long-distance photography of subjects like wildlife, sports, or astronomy, rewarding patience and manual technique with a distinctive visual character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Spiratone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48570865647859,"sku":"SPI-PLURA-COAT-400-PRE-2","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8342\/0659\/files\/767788.jpg?v=1771923120","url":"https:\/\/thepixelconnection.com\/products\/spiratone-plura-coat-sharpshooter-400mm-f-6-3-used-1","provider":"PixelConnection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
