Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2005 9:52 pmThank you cc@t,
thanks for posting these images.
I am looking into the capability of this lense and I am researching
the application for the mirror lense.
These photos are a great example of how the mirror lense
deals with a busy background.

I agree. Their forte seems to be long range shots with calm backgrounds. Like slider's fishing boat shot, which shows no sign of mirror optics. They seem to do less well at close range with busy backgrounds. Shallow DOF seems to amplify their bad bokeh.
