All of these shots were taken with the intention of focussing on the reflected image - some work and some don’t.

All shot with the Sigma 70-200 + 2x converter.

Nice one Chris. You have that Sigma 70-200 + TCx2 working a treat.

Hi Sirhc55,

This question is off the topic, but where was the photo taken of the mirrors?

Was this a secondhand store?

My girlfriend's birthday is coming up and she's wanting the wrong kind of optical glass. At least she doesn't mind it is secondhand (antique to her :idea: - not that this is always cheaper). She doen't even live with me but need a full length mirror in my house :shock: :?:

Went to a custom mirror store in Ryde and was getting quotes of $870 to $1700 :!: :!: :!:

She wants a full length ornate frame mirror.

Thanks heaps

Strange how helpful this site can be :roll:

Very interesting Chris...

I like the last one best for the fact that each of the reflective surfaces seems to have something totally different to say...

Manual focus???

LPV6, I have bought a mirror from them about $400. The best deals are near the front door (or on the pavement) and they get worse from there, go up to about $1800, cheapest about $250
