[QUOTE="STM, post: 797490, member: 12827"] The 500mm f/8 Reflex Nikkor-C was actually used a lot for sports photography, especially when it first came out. It is tremendously sharp and lightweight and had buttery smooth and easy focusing, one finger is all it took. The very shallow depth of field made focusing a snap on the ground glass since the split image and microprism were goners at f/8. Of course with fixed aperture it did have its limitations and some people just could not get past the "donut" thing. I shot this portrait with one mounted on a monopod back in 2009. I sold it last year and have regretted it ever since.
