    Overview

    The Vivitar Series 1 600mm f/8 Solid Cat is a unique mirror lens with a solid glass design, making it extremely compact and rugged. Optically, it does not resolve as well as other mirror lenses like the Sigma 600mm or MTO. It has a very short focus throw. The lens is well-made and suits collectors or those interested in its historical design, but may not satisfy users seeking top optical performance.
