Overwhelmingly lightweight and compact super telephoto lens “SZ PRO”
*The focus is manual. Aperture priority AE (A) or (Av), or manual (M) is only supported.
* It is necessary to set “permission of release without lens” depending on the camera.
Super compact super telephoto lens
Although the lens barrel is made of metal, it is light enough to be carried around thanks to the use of aluminum and light alloys.
As a super telephoto lens that can be stored in a small camera bag, it can also be used for travel.
*The image is SZ 300mm PRO Reflex F7.1 MF CF
Macro photography up to 1:2.5x possible
By adopting a reflective optical system, it is overwhelmingly more resistant to close-up photography than general super-telephoto lenses, and enables macro photography with a maximum magnification of 1:2.5. It is also very convenient when taking close-up shots of insects or flowers from a distance.

Enjoy unreality with compression effects
The “compression effect” that is characteristic of super-telephoto lenses is that near objects and distant objects appear to overlap without any sense of perspective. There is also the pleasure of being able to take unrealistic pictures of ordinary city scenery.
