According to "The Vivitar Guide" by John C. Wolf, the other Solid Cat
is an 800mm F11. I'm also aware of a Vivitar Series 1 450mm F4.5 mirror
lens (I'm still kicking myself for passing up on one recently, though
it's clearly not by Perkin-Elmer -- seems much less "solid"). There
may exist an 800/f8 of the latter type (McBroom lists one), but I've
never seen one. All Vivitar S1 mirrors are T-mount.
AFAIK, Olympus made a 800/f8 mirror lens for the Pen FT half-frame SLR.
