Thank you for showing these images.
I like especially the fourth image with the water!
Mirror lenses and flowers could be much fun Smile

Beautiful! Wonderful examples of a stellar lens.

Very nice work!

Although I am not familiar with this lens, it took but just a fraction of a second to realize that these images were taken with a mirror lens. You either love them or hate them! I count myself as a member of the former. I had a 500mm f/8 C Nikkor for the longest time. I do often regret selling it, it was light as a feather and so easy to focus and the sharpness would blow you away!

This is wonderful! You should get the newer N version with close focus ability.

Thanks! I have mulled over getting another one, but my 600mm f/4 AIS is such an amazing lens, I have a hard time justifying the additional expense. I am up to 14 Nikkors now and don't have room in my gear bag for any more as it is!

Very respectable for a mirror, and lovely images.

Did you do much sharpening in PP?

Indeed. It seems to be going for double the price of the 500 f8 55B mirror lens.

So here are the possible reasons:

It is a better lens? (the images look pretty good, but that may be the photographer!)
It is a more useful lens? (500mm too specialised, f8 too slow)
It is just a rarer lens? (at the time most people could not afford a 500 unless they bought a cat lens, whereas 300mm regular lenses were more affordable, and still just about portable)

Which do you think it is?

I suspect it's people like us talking about it too much :-/
