500mm Mirror lens

[Don Kuykendall_RIP]

Someone reminded me today about mirror lenses and it reminded me that I had a 500mm mirror lens somewhere in my old camera bag. Went back and found it and decided all it would take in a T-mount adapter to hook it up to my D5100. Adorama (HelenOster here on Nikonites) had them for $9 with free shiping. I have wasted more money than that many times. If it works it could be fun to play with. I really don't expect it to be as sharp as my Nikon lenses but we shat see.

This is a shot using that lens on my Olympus OM2n 35mm camera. The little blond girl in the blue shorts is my now 33 year old daughter.

You say blur shorts but the shutter speed was fast enough and the shorts are in focus

I think it was a typo, blue shorts. The e and r are right next to each other.

Yeah I know Marilynne, I was just joking, hence the wink.
