I just got this lens today-my first 500mm mirror lens, and am posting some images for your viewing pleasures and c & c . I must say that it is light ,feels stable when mounted ,and does not look too bulky to carry around .
This Tern made a dive for food and came up with nothing-
This is a crop of the above image zooming into the gull.

I was careful not to create shots with too many donuts-here's one with a few
And another fast shot of a diving Tern.

I agree Bob- Minolta has a great reputation. I read that this and the Sony remake/rebadge of this lens; are the only Reflex 500mm lenses ,with Auto Focusing capabilities. |
