DESCRIPTION - Designed to fill needs of professionals who specialize in outdoor sports, news and wildlife coverage for whom 300mm is too short and 500mm too restrictive as governed by object size, working distance and desired image magnification. Compared to 50mm lens, magnification is 8X (64 areas). Modest f/5.6 aperture keeps lens relatively compact and light, permitting use in hand with practice at fastest shutter speeds; otherwise, equipped with tripod socket.

Features. This lens has the longest focal length of all the compact Takumar telephoto series. Despite its telephoto power, the ultra-high quality design of this lens results in a contrasty image of high resolution and fine color reproductionLens length is as short as that of a reflector type telephoto lens, and intermediate click-stops and the minimum aperture of F45 make this lens very convenient for extreme telephotography.  This fine super-telephoto lens has a built-in lenshood and is fitted with a tripod socket for high performance under all conditions.

Main uses. This optic is ideal for hand-held operation with moving subjects. _The half-stop click settings also make it a fine performer for color photography. Altogether a fine choice for sports, animal photography and long-range candid shots.
