Unlike conventional telephoto lenses, mirror lenses use a system of mirrors to fold the optical path — resulting in a much shorter and lighter barrel than a traditional 500mm lens while delivering the same telephoto reach. The characteristic doughnut-shaped bokeh produced by the central mirror obstruction is a distinctive and much-loved creative feature that makes mirror lenses instantly recognisable. In Minolta MD mount, it pairs naturally with the full range of Minolta SR\/MD film bodies and adapts effortlessly to modern mirrorless systems.
