Very Impressive Ccat... that mirror lens seems to be working well for you.. What brand is it??
Looks like another lens to add to my lust list.. currently only 2 things at the moment.. sigma 10-20 and a tc for my 70-200

Zeeke it's only a Tokina, I was tempted to wait for a Nikon to come up on ebay, but hey for the price I paid I'm happy. I dont know how much difference there is between brands on these lens, I assume it is the same as the difference on their standard lenses, so may pay to get the Nikon ???

Why bother with Nikon when the Tokina is so good. From past experience with mirror lenses there is not a lot of difference between them. Proof in this fine photo

Very nice.
Hope my new 500 mirror is as good

The in-focus subject looks great for such a cheap lens... Not sure if it's me (probably
) but the out-of-focus stuff in the background looks ummm, dunno, just seems to be catching my eye

donuts have a way of taking over the image all the time...........

the donut bokeh is always produced with mirror lenses.
I have seen shots of night lights for instance taken deliberately out of focus to exploit this. have even been guilty of doing that myself on occasions.

I also have a 500 mirror lens........ shooting roadways on a wet night can be interesting with a 500........or subjects with back lighting.........
