Bower 800mm f/8 Manual Focus T-Mount Mirror Lens

The Bower 800mm f/8 Manual Focus T-Mount Mirror Lens is an ultra-telephoto catadioptric (mirror) lens that delivers extreme reach for wildlife, sports, aviation, and astrophotography at a fraction of the cost of a conventional telephoto lens of equivalent focal length. The mirror lens design uses a combination of mirrors and lenses to fold the optical path into a compact, lightweight body, making the 800mm f/8 far smaller and lighter than a traditional 800mm telephoto lens while still delivering the dramatic subject magnification that extreme telephoto photography demands.

The T-mount system makes the Bower 800mm f/8 compatible with virtually any camera system via the appropriate T-mount adapter, including Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, OM System, Sigma, Sony, and many others. The manual focus design requires patience and practice but gives you precise control over your focal point, and the fixed f/8 aperture is a characteristic of all mirror lenses. The distinctive doughnut-shaped bokeh produced by the mirror design is a recognisable creative signature of catadioptric lenses. Available from Foto Discount World in Pretoria.
