You own a Sony NEX camera but you need a spy camera to look into your neighborhoods houses? You have to buy the [shoplink 4648]Samyang 500mm lens[/shoplink] 🙂 I found s0me image samples of that crazy combo at Photogenius.ru. The Samyang is available on eBay for $190-$290 ([shoplink 4648]Click here to see current auctions[/shoplink]). And don’t forget that Sony made a nice 500mm f/8 Reflex which has been discontinued. That lens is also much more expensive ($749.00 at Amazon right now

Normally Google Translate is quite good, but not this time.
Here’s what the text on that page says:
Mirrors are used not just in SLRs, but in lenses too. It is the common perception that these [mirror lenses] yield to the normal ones. We will not argue, but simply give a few examples from the wonderful site dchome.net.
Sony 500F8 still available

This and the Minolta version are the ONLY autofocus F8 reflex made
It looks a lot like the Pro Optic 500mm reflex lens. In that case I would use the money for something else, after reading a review on Alphamountworld, http://www.alphamountworld.com/reviews/pro-optic-500mm-f63-mirror-lens-review
There are some fans of donut shaped backgrounds out there.
Such lens, on APS sensor, should have a decent reach for the money. Quality is awful, but it was meant to be a toy lens(spy lens) to begin with.
obviously you never tried the Minolta/Sony version
hardly a toy

I was talking about Samyang lens not Minolta lens which is arguably the best mirror lens ever made.
ok sorry misunderstood
🙂
What about astrophotography?
How do results look for that using reflex lens in comparing shorter or equal focus lenght pro lenses?
Anyone has any good links on that?:-)
Methinks the wh*ring for referral income is getting a little to heavy on this site.
She has to make money too. Web services(hosting, e-mail, domain) are cheap but add up to a hefty bill at the end. Having an incentive to run this site allows her to make it the best Sony rumor site on the web(even if there were no rumors lately).
It’s not a particularly hefty bill. I run several sites completely out of my own pocket. I understand ads, even if a I don’t put any on my own sites. But this site is starting to look more like a minefield of referral links, with some genuine links thrown in sometimes, and posts only containing advertising and no genuine content are getting more common.
Really? Have you seen other camera rumor sites out there? This is by far the cleanest that I know of.
