Overview

The Soligor C/D Mirror 500mm f/8 MC is a compact mirror lens with a fixed aperture and distinctive donut-shaped bokeh due to its central mirror. It is heavy and offers only f/8 and f/11 aperture settings via a rotating disc. Image quality is considered inferior to other 500mm mirror lenses, with some users finding mirror lens images generally unappealing. It suits budget-conscious photographers seeking an ultra-compact 500mm lens for occasional use, but those prioritizing image quality may prefer alternatives.
