Would be really interesting to see some shots taken with that monster. I heard that mirror lenses in the past used to be higher quality than many modern ones, because the manufacturers tried harder (and for a time actually thought that mirror lenses are the future of tele photography)

This one works well for moon shots!

This looks like one fine mirror lens.
The built in filters are quite handy.

Today I saw a different one of these, and a Rubinar 1000/10 mirror in a little shop: Camera Hospital, Prinseps Street, Singapore, just off Middle Road.

normhead · 04-06-2013, 10:11 AM

I'd say you might get a better price for it here than the 'Bay. I know of a few examples that sold in the 600 - 800 range, one even for 595.. when I was looking at these long focal lengths in the past couple of years or so.

**MJL** · 04-06-2013, 01:53 PM

The lens is still there. That tell you how reasonable is the asking price. A "reasonable" price is to halve whatever Hong Kong used dealers ask, no exception. I know these dealers well.

You are better off getting the K1000/8 if you want an old manual focus super telephoto lens.

Why do you say this? in this comparison the 1000/11 reflex does a lot better than the 1000/8 lens.. It is 1 stop slower, but with better aberrations control and not as heavy..

3 keer 1000mm
