full name of this lens is MaGinon serie G MC 100-500mm/5.6-7.1
it's heavy and monopod is a must and even then it's difficult to steady it...
it isn't sharpest tool in the shed but it has a nice bokeh (when the background isn't too busy)

Glowing bokeh! Love it! Do you have a picture of the lens? I'm guessing this on is pretty hard to find.
