Crops 300200 Minolta MD 500mm 1:8.0 RF aberrations Vignetting Geometric distortion This sample shows distortion in the vertical direction. It can be easily seen on the left side of the photo. Coma aberrations: Note: the street light on the photo has an oval shape, keep it in mind, please. I just didnt find a better target for so huge focal distance. Chromatic aberrations Long-distance bokeh Test conditions: the lens was focused on half distance on the scale (8m), buildings are on infinity-distance Light bubbles bokeh The lens is on the minimal focusing distance 4m, lights are on >200m (cityscape) Minolta MD 500mm 1:8.0 RF (or Minolta MD 500mm F/8, New-MD, MD III design) overall conclusion Firstly: this reflex lens has only one aperture, so I didnt need to make a lot of identical shots for test-diagrams. This factor makes it my favorite lens because the review has been taking the shortest time among all other reviews. I believe that only pinholes can be better for me. To be serious this is a very good lens. Or, at least, it is a lot better than I expected. Sometimes people scold it for low sharpness and for a bad bokeh. But it may be because this barrel requires an owner with a little bigger skill than usual. Yes, the bokeh with rings is strange, but not bad at all, and I can describe it as trendy for today some photographers are a bit tired from the tons of creamy Gauss blurs and want to see the character of lenses. Just dont forget its 500mm, with F8 on wide-open, and operation with this lens isnt easy good weather needed, daylight needed, tripod needed, etc. In any way, the lens can be recommended for everyone who needs focal distances over the 300mm but isnt ready for a huge professional gear.
