[QUOTE="STM, post: 557497, member: 12827"] There are times I really regret getting rid of my 500mm f/8 Reflex Nikkor. There seems to be little middle ground with this lens, you either loved it or hated it. I was definitely amongst the former. It was [I]very[/I] sharp and very compact for its size and had zero CA and worked quite well with a TC-14B. The fixed f/8 aperture did not really bother me at all. It just took up so much room in my gear bag that I just could not justify keeping it any more and did not want it to just be a shelf sitter. But it did produce some really great images, if you didn't mind "doughnut" out of focus specular highlights! [ATTACH=CONFIG]212157._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
