I recently managed to buy the following mirror lenses in very good shape:
Minolta RF Rokkor 250/5.6
Minolta RF Rokkor 500/8
Minolta 2x Tele Converter 200-L
The 200-L TC was especially made for longer "L" lenses but there was also a version made for shorter "S" lenses (the 200-S). I've heard that these TC's should be of quite high optical quality.
I'm dying to try out the lenses on a Sony NEX-5N that I hope to buy in the near future.
Do you think that the 500mm mirror lens + 2x TC on a NEX could be useful? An equivalent of 1500mm/f16 is quite long and slow.
What about the 250+TC combination? 500/11.2 in a slightly smaller package than the 500/8. There has to be a slight image degradation compared to the 500/8 right? And camera+adapter+TC+lens sounds complicated...
I wonder if any of the above combinations can be used handheld, it could be tricky to get sharp pictures without a tripod I guess. Even with the 500/8 alone.
I have very high hopes for the 250/5.6 as a tool for street photography. This lens is tiny. Too bad that it is so rare and expensive!
