Maybe - but nor sure. I believe that the Leica Mirror isn´t poorer.
http://forum.mflenses.com/leitz-mr-telyt-r-f8-500mm-portrait-shots-t27758.html
The Olympus mirror is very good too.
Edit : I have forgotten the orginal Canon mirror who is also not too bad.

And maybe the tamron, at least when it's lower price is put into consideration.
I very much like the swan picture and the final picture I think makes fantastic use of the distinctive bokeh, great composition, the kind of shot I can never seem to "see" at the time.

That one is my dream lens, but 1,000mm one is the last quest for my
Prakticar collection.

Orio, my english is really ugly... ... I don't know if Leica/Minolta 500 mirror was better than Mirotar... I live in Florence, if someone have a Leica 500 around Tuscany we could try...
But I am really surprised seeing the quality of Mirotar. I bought two (new, from a failure) and the shots hanheld published are satisfaying for me, the lens is quite light and little. Only a bit more than Zeiss 1.4/85 ZE

I'm sure that the Mirotar is a very good lens, it's a Zeiss after all. What I meant was that I was so happy with the Leica for the time that I had it, that I would not feel like changing if I ever had to buy a 500 mirror again.
The problem is that I am not a bird or moon shooter, and for every other use I find a 500mm lens too long. I have enough lenght for what I need with the 300mm of my Vario-Sonnar 100-300.
