Excellent test shots man, thanks for this. I'd say this is a very nice lens with lovely contrast and colours. Pretty sharp too.

Just happens I shot some pics with my Tair-3C 300mm today, thought it might be good to compare them to the Rokkor 300:

Excellent, I have some more shots so we can compare.

How does the Rokkor compare to the Tair in size and weight?

tair is bigger and 3 times heavier Wink at least it feels like it...

tair has a minimum focusing distance of 3 m , while rokkor has 4,5 m minimum focusing distance

I agree, #3 is a great shot.

Thanks for the size comparison, the Rokkor looks much more easy to handle.

Really appreciate your tests man!

well rokkor is lighter and has normal focusing
tair is awkward to focus in portrait orientation (at least the photosniper version i have). i'm righthander and focus with left hand, so when i want to shoot this lens in portrait orientation i have to switch hands twice, first to focus the lens with right hand , then to take a shot with right hand
