This little lens just arrived.
It is tiny! On the last image it is pictured next to a rokkor MC 135mm F3.5.
Comes with 3 filters: 1a, nd2 and nd4.
SR mount.
As you can see on the images, rain rain rain, so no playtime now Sad

A lovely little mirror lens: I love mine, its performance was a pleasant surprise. And build quality is excellent too.

Build is indeed very solid. Handles very nicely. I am surprised how little you can find about this lens on the net!

Do you have images to share? Smile

Sony A6000

Pics have pp, don't have a hood for this thing.

Images look pretty decent. Seems bokeh can be nice if specular highlights are managed well, or excluded. Sharpness good considering it is a mirror. Good timing as I have just purchase a 5.6/300 Makinon. Hoping it too will be decent.

The images I looked at here were mostly from the 5.6/300 and I thought some looked sharp, but as you pointed out, they are small images. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/tags/makinon+mirror/interesting/

there are some beautiful photo's at that link!

I am curious to see some of your shots with your 300mm

I still like this lens though for being so small, and I've only bought it for donuts anyway ^_^ I want to create textures for digital art with the images I shoot with it so sharpness was not too high on the wish list.
