....despite all negative opinions and comments on mirror lenses I'm absolutely fascinated by my Sigma Mirror - to support this I like to post a recent sample....free-hand shot and no digital improvement - jpg but "raw".....the original picture and four 100%+ crops, just cut-out and combined with "Photoscape" - which I by the way find the most impressing photo-freeware I ever used.....
Nikon D90 (M-modus) - Sigma Mirror 8,0/600 - ISO 800 - 1/1600

Does this lens have the usual donut bokeh of a mirror lens ? I am assuming yes. |

....yes there is - but it's much less obvious ...or annoying... than I expected - here are some samples with "bokeh-background", as you can see, the "rings" are very small and sometimes even hardly to be recognized as "rings".....I also have a Russian 8,0/500, with which I find it much worse
Bokeh Sigma 8,0/600

The Sigma is indeed a nice little big mirror.
Last year i found a M42-version at a rather ridiculous price and the performance appeared to be pretty good. The only thing about all mirrors is the lack of mass which nowadays can be managed by using a stabilized camera.
The great surprisefactor with mirrorlenses are their closefocussing-abilities.

Thanks for the follow up, I have one of the cheap store branded 500mm mirrors and the background always has thousands of distracting rings or donuts. |

These donuts are typical for any catadioptric system, you can either avoid them ore live with them.
From this afternoon with the Sigma 600mm
