    Overview

    The Spiratone 500mm f/8 mirror Minitel offers good sharpness for a mirror lens (rbelyell), with pleasing background rendering (newton). However, its f/8 aperture requires bright sunlight for optimal results (ManualFocus-G). Build is heavy (calvin83). It suits photographers who can manage the weight and need a compact telephoto for well-lit scenes.
