Meisho Optical Camera Lens

This lens is natively designed for the Nikon F mount. To use it on a Nikon Z-series camera, you will need to use the Nikon FTZ mount adapter.

The lens features geared focus rings that provide smooth, precise control, which is helpful for fine-tuning your focus. However, it does not provide electronic focus confirmation, so you will need to rely on your camera's focus peaking or magnification tools.

At 1.6 kg, the lens is relatively compact for a 500mm prime, but it is still a significant weight. While agile enough for some handheld work, you will likely get the sharpest results using a monopod or tripod, especially given the narrow field of view at this focal length.

Yes, the geared focus and aperture rings are designed to integrate with standard follow-focus gear systems. This makes it a practical choice for videographers who need consistent, repeatable focus pulls.

The shortest shooting distance is 3.3 meters. While this is not a macro lens, it is well-suited for isolating distant subjects or capturing wildlife from a respectful, non-intrusive distance.

The 12-blade diaphragm is designed to produce a nearly circular aperture, which helps create smooth, natural-looking bokeh in out-of-focus areas. This is particularly beneficial when shooting subjects against busy backgrounds.
