    Overview

    The Minolta RF 800mm f/8 is a rare, well-engineered catadioptric lens with fixed f/8 aperture and true f/8 light transmission, offering good optical performance with minor light falloff. Its solid build features a rotating mount, rear filters, and gun sights, but the focus knob placement on the right makes handheld use awkward. It suits collectors and tripod-based users who need extreme reach and can accept the fixed aperture and handling limitations.
