Minolta's ultimate "hunk of glass", it weighs in at over 23 pounds! It's a mirror lens, but it is unusually large and heavy due to the super-fast aperture -- f/6.3
The exposure is changed with the shutter speed and ND filters. Built-in yellow, orange, red, UV & ND filters. Rack-and-pinion focusing.

Look, I did not create the optical laws of the Universe ... I simply learned to deal with them.
Remember: It is usually the GLASS, not the camera (except for moving to Full Frame), that gives you the most improvement in your photography. flickr® & Sdi
Peter ... were you around 8 or 9-years-old, like I was, when they quit making it? LOL
Now, that is some old glass, to be sure. I don't even think there was an SLR to mount it, with no MC or MD mount available.
