Hi,
This is a very rare Chinese medium format 1000mm F6.7 mirror lens. Yes It is F6.7, but only weighs a mear 3000 grams. It is very sharp and contrasty for a mirror lens. It compares well to tthe Russian MTO 1000A 1100/10 for IQ. It has a Hassyblad mount, but I use it on a DSLR with an adaptor. Perhaps less than 10 lenses were made, and so far only 2 examples are known including this one.  The famous Zeiss mirotar 1000/5.6 weighs a little more at 16 kgs. 
Cheers,

Yes, it is a missle tracking lens used by Chinese army. It has no brand name, nor s/n, but only some codes. |

Here is a re-sized moon image with Canon 300D. It compres well with my MTO 1000A, but it is a medium format lens.

Hi, Claus,
This is a medium format lens. China did not have a reliable medium format SLR camera for this lens, so it was made in Hasslblad mount. It may not be a tracking lens, but for photographing the trace of a missle. I have another China made 2000mm F7 real missle tracking lens that weighs about 30 kgs, and was mounted on an automatic tracking device. The device then was installed on a vehicle.
I think I can read a newspaper with this 2000/7 lens 2-300 meters away with a 10X eyepiece. 
Cheers,
Kievuser |

i can't use it to take pictures. Just too heavy and big. On the left is the MTO 1000A. looks tiny, and a Kiev 88 attached to this lens. The current missle tracking lens is many times bigger than this one.

You realize a rig like that would get you instant press credentials almost anywhere. That, or you may get arrested.
