![]() | Nikon 500mm f/8 N Reflex Pros: Lightweight and compact, fun to use, no aberrations and distortions, color rendering Cons: Sharpness, difficulty in focusing Opinion: A particular perspective. I inherited this lens from my photographer grandfather and spent a lot of time experimenting. It is certainly a fun perspective, it forces you to "work" to obtain acceptable results. Focusing is particularly challenging, both on reflex (I used it on a D5300) and on mirrorles (tested with Z50) as the plane of focus remains thin as a razor even at long distances (500m and infinity are still on two different planes). On mirrorless, focus peaking lies shamelessly with this lens, perhaps thanks to the overall lack of sharpness. You also have to pay attention to the relationship between the camera-subject-background distance, as certain combinations result in a very disturbing blur, in others it is very pleasant (beyond the donuts that you may like or not). When everything goes the right way, however, it also gives satisfaction and, at least for me, it was an excellent school. sent on November 15, 2025 |
