2:00 at the top of western avenue about to head to Ely in the left lane... THATS ME! I've got my AGV Horizon blue motorcycle lid on riding a Hornet 900. How strange!

if mirrorless cameras use this lens, would it still be a mirrorless camera?

You've got quite a noticeable bit of dirt on your sensor in the top left most noticeably at 3:55

Minlolta made an AF mirror lens like this, I have seen some of the images and they really aren't that bad. Hand held really isn't an option, moving targets aren't either. However, with a Sony DSLR and the in camera Steady Shot, sharp images can be taken.

I bought a 500mm mirror and am very happy with it , hand held shots with the aid of stabilising from my g9 at as low as 300th of a sec shutter , I’m over the moon for 75 , including adapter, soon to be featured on my channel called Motorcycles And Things , cheers Shane uk

I hope one day someone will produce a good quality mirror lens. Mirror lenses are great for astrophotography. Of course a steady tripod and live view are more than necessary.

Technicaly it´s a kind of Schmidt Cassegrain telescope, but much cheaper. So is the quality of this device. An f/8 is nothing weird in this case, f/10 apertures are common. Yes, it is crappy, but if you dont want to spend 1.000+ for an Celestron telescope, and want to make som amature astrophotography, its worth considering for the price, to play with.

They are a fiddly nightmare but they are FUN and when you do nail it they REALLY nail it. on my XTI the 800 mm is 1280mm effective (crop sensor) the issue is manual focus only on a small viewfinder. so very hard to actually get it in focus and worse the DOF is very very very shallow.

Minolta / Sony users have the advantage here: for the Minolta/Sony A-mount you can get the AF 500mm F8 Reflex. Yes, a mirror lens with AF. Combined with the steady shot in the camera, it is a lens that is really fun to use. For Sony E-mount users, they just have to use the proper E2A adapter and they can use it too with AF. IMHO the AF 500mm F8 Reflex in combination with the new Sony A7-II + LA-E2A4 adapter is a nice compact package to carry around with a lot of reach.

Just for the record, Minolta had a 500mm f8 autofocus mirror lens and Pentax had a 400-600 zoom mirror lens (MF).

This lens isn't a waste of money, for the low price and lightweight it's nice to have it in your bag when you want to travel and do creative shoot.. It may not be that super sharp but when you be creative trying to get some reach, your creativity will matter. Ex, if you want a compressed image of a heavy traffic, the sharpness won't matter because the heat and humidity is there. Not all creative image requires sharpness.

I have a used 500mm Chinon mirror lens I got for cheap. Love throwing it in for a quick moon shoot sometimes with a 2X teleconverter or just putting it on to see what you can see. It can help tell a story very well. If there’s a story you can’t tell because you can’t afford a better tool to do it what’s the point of even thinking about it in the first place.

I was very fascinated by this type of lenses back in the 80's. So small and still such a long focal length. Today though, I wouldn't get one. Pretty sure it would lend it self to a frustrating experience. Your review was very good, as usual.

I have the Samyang 500mm f6.3 lens, great for pics of astro photography on a budget (got mine second hand too so even cheaper).

I wonder if placing a little beanbag on the tripod then the camera on the beanbag would steady it better? That way, the front of the lens wouldn't vibrate because it would be embedded in the beanbag.
