People from Asia are spending a lot of money on 300-350mm mirror lenses at the moment, even the "cheap" ones are going for £200.00 Shocked

Probably the "LUST LIGHT SIGNS" on the hood. That or someone smelled homemade doughnuts cooking and got confused. Wink

I've already sold 2x 300mm mirror lenses for more than EUR 200 a piece. Indeed, they are hot in Asia at the moment.

It must be just the "fashion" trends amongst photographers! Wink

I have some laying around, also a Questar, maybe I should list 'em....

Am I missing something or is that bokeh crazyness??

It has been a fashion among the photographer in my city. They love the doughnut brokeh very much. In these days, some guys selling these the same price as the Tamron 55BB.

It's a fashion thing in some parts of Asia apparently. I'm presuming the lenses were more popular in Europe and the USA 40 years ago, and so many are now heading towards Asia.

That is the same price as in local forums in my city.

How many were made?

They are generally robust and have that reputation... They may just go up in price?

Has the Samyang factory got it in their sights? It will take a few years to make a reputation, so even if it is as good for a lesser price there will be time to sell!
