Lens Overview — Tokina 900mm f/11 Reflex MF

The Tokina SZ 900mm f/11 Reflex MF is a compact super telephoto prime lens built for Canon EF-M mirrorless cameras. Designed around a catadioptric (reflex mirror) optical system, it delivers an extreme 900mm focal length in a package weighing just 725g — a notably restrained figure for a lens of this reach. The fixed f/11 maximum aperture is a characteristic of the reflex design, keeping size and weight in check while offering a consistent exposure value across all shooting distances.

Because this is a manual focus-only lens, photographers will need to rely on their camera's focus assist tools such as focus peaking or magnification to nail sharp results at this focal length. Image stabilization is not built into the lens itself; instead, the lens relies on In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) from the host camera body. The lens is formatted for APS-C sensors, which suits the Canon EF-M system.

A filter thread size of 86mm is provided at the front element, allowing the use of standard screw-in filters. This lens is well suited to wildlife, sports, or travel photographers who want serious telephoto reach without the bulk and cost typically associated with fast super telephoto glass.

Description — Tokina 900mm f/11 Reflex MF

The Tokina SZ 900mm f/11 Reflex MF is a super telephoto prime lens built for Canon EF-M mirrorless cameras, utilizing a catadioptric reflex system to achieve an extreme 900mm focal length in a body weighing only 725g. The fixed f/11 aperture is inherent to the reflex design and remains constant throughout use. As a manual focus lens with no autofocus capability, it rewards photographers who are comfortable using focus peaking or magnification aids.

Stabilization is handled entirely by the camera body via In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), with no optical stabilization built into the lens. Formatted for APS-C sensors and fully matched to the Canon EF-M system, this lens also features an 86mm filter thread for attaching screw-in filters. For photographers seeking significant telephoto reach in a compact and lightweight form factor, this lens offers a distinctive option within the Canon EF-M ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tokina 900mm f/11 Reflex MF

Does this lens support autofocus on Canon EF-M cameras?+
No. The Tokina SZ 900mm f/11 is a manual focus-only lens — the specifications confirm autoFocus is false and focusType is Manual. You will need to use your camera's focus assist features such as focus peaking or magnification when shooting.
Does this lens have built-in image stabilization?+
The lens itself does not have optical image stabilization. According to the specifications, it relies on In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) from the host camera. Whether you benefit from stabilization depends on whether your Canon EF-M body includes IBIS.
What cameras is this lens compatible with?+
This lens is designed for the Canon EF-M mount and is formatted for APS-C sensors, as stated in the specifications. It is intended for use with Canon EF-M mirrorless camera bodies.
Can I use filters with this lens?+
Yes. The lens features an 86mm front filter thread, so standard 86mm screw-in filters can be attached directly to the front of the lens.
How heavy is this lens?+
The Tokina SZ 900mm f/11 weighs 725g according to the specifications. For a 900mm super telephoto prime, this is a relatively manageable weight, particularly given the compact reflex optical design.
What is the maximum aperture of this lens?+
The maximum aperture is f/11, and this is a fixed aperture — meaning it does not change across focus distances. This is a characteristic of the catadioptric reflex optical design used in this lens.
