Our take on the High-Power 500mm f/8 Manual Telephoto Lens

A fixed 500mm f/8 mirror lens with a T-mount adapter for Nikon F bodies, sold under the BM Premium name. It is manual focus and manual aperture only, so there is no autofocus, no metering link and no image stabilization. That makes it a cheap way to reach super-telephoto reach for moon shots, birds and distant subjects in good light, but it is slow at f/8 and demands careful focusing. Rivals at this level are other mirror lenses and budget 70-300mm zooms; the zooms autofocus and cover a range, while this gives a fixed long reach with donut-shaped bokeh and low contrast wide open.

Best forBudget wildlife and bird photographers shooting in daylightMoon and astro snapshotsBeginners experimenting with long focal lengthsTripod or monopod shooters
Pros
  • Long 500mm reach for a low outlay
  • Compact and light for its focal length, thanks to the mirror design
  • Simple all-manual operation with no electronics to fail
  • Fits Nikon F bodies through the included T-mount adapter
  • Works on older and entry-level Nikon DSLRs
Cons
  • Manual focus only, hard to nail on moving subjects
  • Fixed f/8 aperture is slow and dims the viewfinder
  • No metering or EXIF communication with the camera
  • Mirror design produces ring-shaped out-of-focus highlights
  • Soft wide open with low contrast; needs stopping down and good light

Questions and answers

Does it autofocus on a Nikon D3300 or D5300?
No. It is fully manual: you focus by turning the ring and set exposure yourself. The camera will not drive focus or read the aperture.
Will the camera meter exposure with this lens?
No electronic contact means no metering through the lens. Shoot in manual mode, check the histogram, and adjust shutter speed and ISO by trial.
What is the aperture?
It is a fixed f/8. There is no aperture range to choose from, so you control exposure with shutter speed and ISO only.
Is it good for the moon and stars?
Yes, that is where it works best. Use a tripod, magnified live view to focus, and a fast shutter speed to avoid shake.
What comes in the box?
The lens with its T-mount adapter for Nikon F, front and rear caps. A tripod collar is not part of the standard set, so plan on supporting the camera body.
How does it compare with a 70-300mm zoom?
The zoom autofocuses, covers a range and is sharper and more contrasty. This lens gives a longer fixed reach and a smaller, lighter body, at the cost of manual focus and a slow aperture.
