Hi Daniel,
Via http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=rayxar&hc=0&hs=0
you will find several sites mentioning Rayxar lenses made by "Oude Delft", a
Dutch company specialized in advanced optics.
I have once played with the Rayxar 65 mm F0.75 owned by Albert Jansen.
Albert now lives in South Africa and owns an observatory: Spreeufontein,
http://www.nis.za/~agjansen/spreeu.htm.
Maybe he is able to give you more information about the Rayxar lenses.
About the 8 mm F0.8: that was a joke. Such a lens does not exist for the 35
mm format.
I hope this helps.

Hello,
I have been looking to purchase a <f1.0 lens which would cover the 35 mm
aperature.
You mention "x-ray camera's" with .75 and the other writer mentioned a 8mm
f0.8
Do you have any more information on either of these and do you know if they
are still in production or where they can be purchased.
Thank you,

Well, I know some people who use 50 mm F0.75 (or something close to those
specs) lenses from X-ray camera's to take astronomy snapshots. With such a
lens and a ISO 1600 film you get nice colourful Milky Way pictures in
seconds. The quality is not excellent, but the same holds for the Zuiko 50
mm primes wide open. The F0.75 lenses are quit bulky and the back element
is
very close to the film, so to mount them on a reflex body requires a little
modification: removing the mirror...

I'm sure you've all got 8mm/0.8f's ... they're round-shaped and they
give you more light than's available in the scene... bulbs?... >>
