Got myself a Minolta 250mm F5.6 and it is perfectly usable, sure if you pixel peep it will look like shaite, but it in many situations it doesn't matter. That lens is also extremely compact for what it does so it is a compromise i am willing to live with.
>>4315166I just picked up the RF Rokker 500mm f8.So far its pretty cool.
>>4315155They're aight I guess, I have an Olympus 500mm f8 that I acquired for a reasonable price. Only gripe is that it's very finicky to focus even with the long throw focusing ring, we're talking about .5 millimeters margin of error. My copy has pretty bad balsam separation but there's some good sharpness especially for a catadioptric.[EXIF data available.

Nikon made one in the pre-AI days called a 500/5 that was actually very good.
