I have a Nikon D80 and have some questions re the Opteka 500mm mirror lens.

1. Is this lens fully compatible with the Nikon d80 i.e. does it provide
full metering with aperture priority so that only the focus needs to be
adjusted manually?

2. Any comments on the quality of this lens and its suitability for the
Nikon D80 would be gratefully received. It is widely advertised at about
£60, is it a bargain or junk?

You will have no metering. The aperture is fixed. Bohkah is characteristic
of reflex lenses.
I have a Russian 500mm/ƒ5.6 and it has very little depth of field.

Works in MANUAL only on my D-50. I see no reason why it should not be the
same on a D-80.
