I decided to take the Opteka 500mm mirror lens along with me today and took some shots. Note all the photos have been digitally enhanced, cropped and resized for web viewing.
As suggested in my previous post, this lens works best when taken with high shutter speeds. Try not to get +0.0 exposure on your camera or you’ll get overexposed photos. The photos will look pale, but some post-processing with Photoshop should fix them.
Verdict? The Opteka 500mm mirror lens is a good toy for some fun. The photos are decent enough for some web photos, but one should not consider it for professional use.
Enjoy the pics! Photos taken with an Olympus E-420 and Opteka 500mm mirror @ f/8.0. No tripods used.

Can you post of pic of your camera with the lens on? I’m tempted by it, but worried it will be too large. Thanks!
