Tokina, part of the global Kenko brand, has announced three new fixed-aperture manual focus telephoto reflex (mirror) lenses.
The company's new SZ PRO 300mm F7.1, 600mm F8 and 900mm F11 offerings are more compact and lightweight than your typical telephoto lenses, albeit at the cost of a slower aperture and the signature 'donut' bokeh associated with mirrored lenses. For those unfamiliar, the 'donut' bokeh refers to the ring around the out-of-focus highlights as seen in the image below:
