Vivitar 500mm f/8 Mirror is a manual focus super telephoto lens for full frame cameras.
Optical design
Has no aperture blades, this is among the rare lens which does not have aperture control function, works always wide open.Physical characteristics
With a lens filter diameter of 72 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options. 90 mm long, requires consideration if you want to carry in the camera bag. Weights 330 grams so plan ahead, carry only if really necessary.Vivitar 500mm f/8 Mirror purchase history
