This is not actually an
This is not actually an 8" mirror, its 200mm and the actual diameter is 7-13/16" with a 7-11/16 reflective surface and 1-1/16" thickness. The focal length is 1200mm which is 47.25 inches. I had to move the mirror cell 3/4" closer ...

Baader Hyperion Digital T-Rings for Afocal Projection Imaging
Nice
I use it with my Fujifilm Finepix S5600. I experience some focusing difficulties but it's not related to this ring but my camera. Ring does it's job very well.
