Tokina Reflex 300mm MF Macro Lens Review
Handling and features
If someone said you could get a lens with a 600mm equivalent field of view that weighs under 300g and costs around £320, you'd probably think they were lying. Tokina's 300mm Reflex lens for Micro Four Thirds system cameras does this. It's a manual focus catadioptric lens. This means it uses curved mirrors as well as refractive lens elements to create a focused image. The benefit is reduced size, weight and cost, but can a lens that is so inexpensive and compact deliver the image quality we have come to expect?
