Yeah the Leica R 600mm mirror lens in a Minolta one indeed...
Hmm. I was always under the impressiong that that particular
lens was made by Vivitar ... Vivitar made an excellent Series 1
600mm f/8 "Solid Cat" which, when compared against the Leica
lens of the same spec, was virtually identical in construction
quality, weight and performance.
I'll tell you, that was one heavy lens!

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
