Very nice mirror lens! I like the third shot a lot because of the many different bokeh donouts!

I like those pictures, the donuts are a part of the picture.

I'm sort of looking at this -

Which I know nothing about, but the idea of a small 300 mirror is very appealing.

Indeed, you will be most welcome to try it out, I plan to use it for street photography mostly, for birds and such I have other 300mms. Smile

Last weekend a nice person I know donated me a case with a Canon AE-1 Program and matching Canon 1.8/50, Tokina 2.8/28 and the Makinon 5.6/300 mirror lens. Since I was missing a long focal length when I've got my EOS M with me and this lens is very small and light for a 300, I ordered a FD-EOS M adapter to try it out.

What can I say? It feels great! The package with the M is small and light and fits in a small bag including the EF-M 22 and a 60mm Macro, my current general purpose equipment.

Below a sample and a comparison with 500mm on a EOS 5D. M+Makinon have about equivalent focal length (1.6*300=480) but every other aspect is very different.

Been for a walk with the little one. It's quite hard to nail the focus down with the M. Some sample images for those who care...

Nice, different looking photos and small lens considering 300mm.
Are there other mirror lenses that are so small? Is it light also?

There's a Minolta mirror lens, but it's expensive. The Makinon shows up in all sorts of names, and it's certainly small. Resolution and contrast are poor, but it's small enough to carry around just in case Smile

The other option is the Tamron SP 350/5.6 mirror which is, like the Minolta, more expensive. But it's much better.
