Want to share some photos from russian lens "МС ЗМ-5СА". It is reflex mirror design, lightweight version of ЗМ-5А (which is heavier, but have tripod mount also) and provides 500mm with f8 aperture. I'm using Nikon 80-200 F2.8 AFS tripod ring with this lens, fits well )
Found that that lens have nice sharpness. Not razor sharp, but pretty good for 500mm cheap lens. It's hard to use it handhelded due to strong shake, have to mount it on tripod. Using hood lens have good contrast, but loses it very fast in contour lighting.

Some samples:

Russian mirrors have long been known for their optical excellence, and this one is certainly no exception. Outstanding shots! Wish I had that variety of birds around here. Pigeons, doves, mockingbirds, grackles, and that's it, none of whom are very colorful.
