Just added a new lens to my kit anyone like to guess what it is ? the pics are not the best - hand held you know in bad light

My guess is a Mirror lens, maybe a 500mm. That is solely based on the bokeh on some of the shots...

Hehe, I have spent long enough in the the last few weeks checking out mirror lens to be fairly familar with them. After the first two I was pretty sure, but then the more I scrolled down the more re-inforcement there was. Katie could of bought me one of these and saved herself a world of frustration.. hehe

I think I'll enjoy my 80-200 more
