Walimex pro 500/8.0 DSLR MFT

A classic with very good imaging performance. Despite its length of approx. 300mm, this telephoto lens is quite handy and light. The design, which uses only 5 lenses in 4 groups, provides excellent, colour-true and sharp images without any disturbing curvature of the image field. The relative aperture of 1:8.0 allows for outdoor use, including wildlife photography or landscape photography with a high level of detail.

The pre-set diaphragm allows you to set the desired aperture in advance – this is then adjusted from the widest opening to the pre-set value with a quick turn of the finger. Advantage: maximum brightness in the viewfinder when focusing, lightning-fast adjustment of the preselected aperture for photography/filming.

The attached 360° rotatable tripod mount allows for balanced mounting on a tripod and for changing from portrait to landscape format.

The lens works with most cameras in aperture priority or manual mode. Your camera's operating instructions will tell you more about this.

T2 connection, user tip: The T2 adapter is screwed onto the optics, then the lens is locked. After loosening the side screws on the T2 adapter, the lens can be ‘raised’ – the index for infinity or the depth of field marks can be aligned upwards. Retightening the screws reliably secures the optics and adapter.

Advantages of a full-frame lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor:

Save time in post-processing. A number of lens defects such as distortion, edge blurring or vignetting occur at the outer edges of the image.
If you use a lens designed for a full-frame format on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas are not used. This gives you maximum quality.
Additional post-processing time to correct lens defects is no longer necessary.
