The beauty of a mirror lens in good hands is that the donuts can be controlled and the rendering can be quite nice. This isn't a thread to show donuts but what can be accomplished with a good mirror. |

Well, maybe I am missing something - but only Jump is typically mirror, the rest could've been taken with any long lens. Next an APO lens thread

Two from stock with AF500 Reflex.
Chimney  Church tower  I found it hard to get nice shots out of it and sold it once I had the 70-400, so I can't post fresh mirror ones. Looking at posts form others, it must have been me! Edited by Fred_S - 05 November 2021 at 20:06 |

Since I talked about this lens earlier in a different thread, I though I would share a couple shots with it.

To see is to enjoy. To see beyond is to rejoice.

This thread is about mirror lenses. I thought about naming it: "Show us your donuts" but decided against it because mirror lenses are so much more than donuts! They are: affordable, hand-holdable and offer extreme focal lengths (250mm-2000mm); and in able hands they produce excellent IQ.
High time these special lenses get a dedicated thread here on Dyxum, the more so as Minolta, and now Sony is famous for their unique AF mirror lens, the Reflex 8/500. So here's the place to post your shots made with mirror lenses, discuss their pros and cons, give advise, tips, and so on and so forth. Let's follow Alice through the mirror, and see what can be found there!
