Interesting! Thanks!
It seems to be much more usable than my Sniper (originally "Snaiper") version.
Anyway, I got mine for a good price and am very pleased with the results. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

Mine is the photosnipper version. Tair - 3 - PhS 72mm filter.
I would be very interested in seeing some test shots from the lens and a 100% crop. Preferably against the light a bit 3/4 and f5.6 max.
I have just posted examples from mine on your Gallery thread.
A Russian 300mm I really like is the Rubinar f4.5 300mm mirror lens. With a length of 100mm it isn’t much bigger than a kit zoom lens and with f4.5 even on dull days it usually manages a higher enough shutter speed to hand hold it. It is a great street lens. As this shot shows. Can you imagine having a walk round town and do a few shot with a Tair? And Hand hold one, it’s hard enough just to carry one!

Rubinar. Very sharp, no distortion, no CA or flare or any other noticeable aberrations.
My next appearance. Hand held
100% crop
Another 100% crop showing I got my focus slightly out there. Well back

Cool shots. I am looking forward buying one 500mm Russian mirror lens. But where I live they are hard to find and are expensive. The thing are worst because In Bulgaria we do not have paypal and I cannot get one online either |

The 3M Russian is the older MTO which the Rubinar superceded. The Rubinar is a new optical design and regarded as an improvement on the old one. The MTO range is cheaper than the Rubinar range and has been available for a much longer time so there are far more of them about More info can be found on the Sales site or by doing a search Perhaps you have some example pictures from the '3M' ?
For 500mm mirror lenses I don't think the Tamron SP can be bettered. This really is a special lens. It produces pin sharp results. I would love to have the f5.6 350mm SP Tamron mirror, but they sell for just too much money for me to warrent buying one as I already have so many good 300mm lenses. Of those the f5.6 300mm SP Tamron can't be beaten. _________________ Pentax K10D & K100D. Many Tamron Adaptall SP lenses, Fujinon f4.5 400mm.

I have a 3M-6A 6.3/500 which works well with good definition although quite low in contrast like most mirror lenses I tried.
I don't have a Rubinar so I can not compare.
All in all I am not a great fan of mirror lenses, but I also have to say that I am not the kind of photographer who uses super teles much. I don't do wildlife photography so for me a 300mm normal glass like the one I have is more than enough for my normal landscape needs. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Rob has absolutely right about Tamrons, for example I bought two copies from Tamron SP 300mm f/5.6 because simple superb!.
Here some links:
3M-5CA 500mm f/8
3M-6A 500mm f/6.3
Rubinar 500mm f/8
Tamron SP 500mm f/8
Finally the princess Carl Zeiss Jena 500mm f/4 yes F4! _________________ -------------------------------
