There are some good images in this thread. I do have my favorites and will wait for the right opportunities, as always. I did buy a mirror lens just today, my first, a Makinon 5.6/300. Hoping for the best.

I did see that, but couldn't confirm there was one on the other side too. The mount looks to be interchangeable.

Several of my third party om lenses only have one button, and I still think Om. Looking closer, and not on my phone, the lens is marked CA, which I would think means Canon, but doesn't look like Canon to me.

The 'CA' marking on the lens indicates it is in Canon FD mount.

I have two 500mm mirrors. The Tamron, I agree with most, is very useable. The Centon is the worst lens I ever used, like trying to focus through a pane of cloudy glass. |

OM
Bayonet mount (nothing like a canon FD), two slots with aperture levers, one small one large, not quite opposite, square button(s) on rim.

I agree that this is OM mount. Since this is a mirror lens, and hence fixed aperture, there would be no need to have the second button for the stop down lever.

I have taken pictures of both Canon and OM mounts and tried to compare them to this mirror, but do not have a conclusion. The picture is just not clear enough to see details. I'm afraid I will need to wait for it to arrive. If not a Canon mount, it makes no sense to have CA on the mount, so for that reason I am expecting it to be Canon.

Even more important than the mount is the quality of the images. Before purchasing I went to where I usually check out image quality when researching a lens - http://www.flickriver.com/photos/tags/makinon+mirror/interesting/ I found that the majority of images were from the 300mm.

I tried this lens. Its quality is average but it can focus close.
The copy I sold has 'PK' on the back of the lens indicates it is in Pentax K mount. The mount is very easy to change so it will not be any surprise if found it is not in FD mount.

Yes, it looks easy to change, but where to get another?

Cheaper and easier to just buy another adapter. OM and CA are two that I don't have.

I have received the (Makinon) 5.6/300 I purchased, but surprisingly, it does not have any branding on it a tall. Since it was listed only as 300mm, I had to research from the pictures and came to the conclusion that it was Makinon. Strange. Also, the mount turned out to be OM. Since I don't have an OM adapter for my NEX, I could only hold the lens up to another adapter while taking some pictures. I'm afraid it is just too challenging to get focus in this manner. So I pointed at some stairs until there was a point that appeared in focus. He is that test shot... not razor sharp:
