Paired with the rare Minolta AF Reflex 500mm f/8, the only auto focus mirror lens ever made, my Sony A77 II becomes something truly different. Compact and lightweight for its reach, this lens creates images that are sharp yet dreamy, with compressed depth and that signature doughnut-shaped bokeh (the visual quality of the
out-of-focus areas of the image).

I’ve used it exclusively for street photography, capturing people from a distance with a cinematic, almost surreal feel. The reach and quick auto focus lets me isolate intimate moments in the chaos of the city without disrupting the subject.
