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?

It is a mirror lens therefore it only has one aperture. I believe that the
mount is a 'T' mount and they supply the relevant adaptor to fit to the
camera.

Reverse 'r' and 'a', delete 'l' for email.

I do appreciate that it has only one aperture (F8) but I need to know if the
metering works so that the shutter speed can be set automatically in
aperture priority mode.
