Spiratone 500mm f/8 mirror Minitel

The lens uses mirror optics, which means that it is much smaller and lighter than traditional telephoto lenses. This makes it a great option for photographers who need to travel light or shoot from a distance. The lens has a fixed aperture of f/8, which means that it may not perform as well in low light situations. However, the lens elements are coated to reduce glare and improve image quality.

The build quality of the lens is solid and durable, and it can last for many years if properly cared for. The resolution of the lens is good, but it may not be as sharp as some of the more expensive alternatives. The bokeh, or the quality of the out-of-focus areas in the image, is unique due to the mirror optics and can be quite pleasing.
