ProOptic 500 mm Mirror Lens
#1

I just purchased the ProOptic 500 mm f 6.3 mirror lens featured in Popular Photography March 2009 issue. Paid 160 dollars plus 35 dollars shipping to Canada. I hope it isn't a waste of money.

Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens. http://donschaefferphoto.blogspot.com/

well it gives me double the magnifying power and it's light and small.

Tell us how it turns out and how it fits on the small body D40.

Heard mirror lenses are nice and sharp, produce some interesting image artifacts (e.g. bokeh) and are fun for the money... let us know how it turns out!
