Nikon Nikkor 500mm f/8 Reflex Lens

The Nikon Nikkor 500mm f/8 Reflex is a mirror (catadioptric) telephoto lens, designed for Nikon F-mount cameras. Unlike traditional telephoto lenses, this reflex (mirror) lens uses a folded optical path to achieve a long focal length in a compact and lightweight design. It is ideal for wildlife, sports, and astrophotography, offering a unique donut-shaped bokeh effect due to its optical construction.
