Walimex pro 500/8.0 DSLR T2

Product information "Walimex pro 500/8.0 DSLR T2"

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 4 lenses in 4 groups, provides an excellent, colour-true and sharp image without any disturbing curvature of 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 aperture 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 pre-set 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. Please refer to your camera's manual for more details.

T2 connection: this lens can be used with many other cameras with the adapters available from us: Canon EOS, Canon FD, Nikon AF/MF, Olympus OM, Olympus 4/3, Olympus micro 4/3, Minolta AF, Minolta MD, Pentax, Leica R/SL, Praktica M42, Samsung, Sony Alpha

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 variety 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 full-frame on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas are not used. This ensures maximum quality.
Additional post-processing time to correct lens defects is thus no longer necessary.


Tip: Doubling the focal length with the optional walimex 2x converter art. no. 1 2602, then gives the visual impression of a 16/1000mm or a 16/1500mm or even a 16/2000mm
