OPTEKA Mirror Lens, 500mm, f8.0
I like it because of the color shift, soft focus, romance, intended softness, flare, and donut bokeh effect~
For quite a long time (I first heard of it in 1992) I wanted a mirror lens but I found they were too expensive. I finally chose a Makinon 300 5.6 for 2 reasons. First although a 500 would have been great I have not much use. Second 5.6 is decent quantity of light and would results more versatile.
I made this celebration card as a first creation with it. Not as sharp as my 70-300L but for around 50€, this is wonderful. Love the dreamy result!

Depuis assez longtemps (j'en ai entendu parler en 1992), je voulais un objectif à miroir mais je les trouvaient trop chers. J'ai finalement choisi un Makinon 300 5.6 pour 2 raisons. Premièrement, bien que ce serait bien d'avoir un 500, je ne crois pas que j'en ferai grand usage. Deuxièmement, 5.6 est une ouverture correcte et sera plus passe-partout.
Pour commencer, j'ai crée cette carte de vœux. Ce n'est pas aussi net qu'avec le 70-300L mais pour environ 50€, c'est merveilleux. J'aime le rendu de rêve !

Desde bastante tiempo (Oi hablar en 1992), quiero tener una lente de espejo pero les encontraba demasiadas caras. Al final elegí una Makinon 300 5.6 para 2 razones. Primero, aunque sería bien tener una 500 no estoy seguro que la usuaria mucho. Segundo, 5.6 es un apertura decente lo que le da más utilidad.
Para empezar, cree esta tarjeta de felicitaciones. No es tan nitida como el 70-300L pero para unos 50€ es maravilloso. ¡Me encanta que quede como de sueño!
Took my new Rokinon 500mm f/6.3 (manual focus/fixed aperture) reflex lens out for a daytime test drive today while at work. Mounted to my 5D2 I'm about 30~40 feet away. Shot raw and added a tiny bit of contrast since this lens seems to lack in that department

This is Donges petroleum plant by night with my 500 mm mirror lens. i was aiming to play a bit with donut bokeh.
Male Red Bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) at suet feeder. Shot with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II and Canon FD Reflex 500mm f/8 manual focus telephoto lens.
I took the 500mm mirror lens on an outing today. It is a monster of a thing to hand hold and focus; and it can result in lost shots because of its big zoom. But I love it. My rule today, as always, with this lens is no cropping.
Fun with the lights at the top of the excalator leading to JoJo's. I was on the street taking this shot using the Cat lens on the 7D hence the donut bokeh.
Donut bokeh of a different sort. Haha. My nephew's beach birthday party yesterday.
BTW, he won the contest.
Another shot with the new Tamron Adaptal SP 500mm f/8 Model 55BB. I'm really enjoying this lens. The Bokeh will take some getting used to. Its not terrible though.

First shots with a new toy: Tamron SP 500/8 mirror lens.
My conclusions: it gives soft images with poor contrast most of the times but sharpening and adjusting curves in post-processing helps a lot. Nice to play with under extremely bright sunlight when the other lenses give too strong contrast. So the verdict is, it stays.

Falcon 500mm f/8 mirror reflex lens.
Top part made without focus - I love the donut-shaped bokeh.
Bottom one focused (at least somewhere), for comparison.

Test shot on my tiny GF 7. Handheld. First time handling a mirror lens. This one seems really cool although its in pretty bad shape. Have to try it on the GX80 with ibis
