I’ll admit it. I love primes. Specifically, lightweight prime lenses that differentiate from contemporary offerings with yesteryear’s quirky (and potentially inherently “flawed”) optical designs. Recently, Tokina introduced an SZX 400mm F8 Reflex lens to their catalogue. Comprised of 6 elements in a mirror arrangement with only a fixed F8 aperture, can something so simple and niche stay relevant in an age of over-engineering and pixel peeping resolution?
