I believe this lens has excellent potential and is great value for the money but it is nothing compare to a standard, prime lens in terms of image quality.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">However, if you only print 4x6, this is something you should consider as an option. I will review my findings for those who don't have one or know what this is.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">These lenses use a mirror instead of glass to project an image to your camera sensor. It works the same as a telescope. With a lens, you get a very narrow depth of field and they are hard to focus on some cameras.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">The advantage to these lenses are they are light, very inexpensive and you can get them in 500mm to 800mm for under $200!</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">The do have a funky, donut shaped bokeh on reflected light that seems to bother some.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">When I had my D90, I got some mixed results with my Nikon. With my D800, I am newly inspired to give this lens another go or buy a 3rd party brand that offers 800mm versions.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">Here are some sample photos taken with my Nikon 500mm f8 C Mirror Reflex lens. Feel free to add your images and any images from 3rd party lenses. I would be most interested in seeing your photos and hearing what you think.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">Images taken with a D800:</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">[ATTACH]15435[/ATTACH]</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">[ATTACH]15436[/ATTACH]</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">Images taken with a D90</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">[ATTACH]15437[/ATTACH]</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: 'Times'">[ATTACH]15438[/ATTACH]</span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
