Your Mirrorless Catadioptric Giant for Extreme Reach in the Engadine
 



The used Nikon Nikkor Reflex 500mm f/8 is the classic "mirror telephoto" lens from the 80s/90s – in B condition (very well maintained, only normal signs of wear) and ready to use with front and rear caps. With a fixed f/8 aperture and catadioptric design (mirror optics), it delivers an incredible 500mm focal length at only 823g in weight and a compact form factor – perfect for ibex, chamois, or eagles in the mountains of Zuoz, without needing a Sherpa. The characteristic "donut bokeh" rings create a unique, creamy background, and manual focusing is buttery smooth and precise. At Optik Foto Rutz, we thoroughly test every used reflex lens for sharpness and mechanics – and we offer a 30-day warranty on all pre-owned lenses against defects that impair functionality, in accordance with our terms and conditions!
