Mike and I went out shooting with with our Rokinon mirrors on friday. Some crazy shots and while the mirrors lacked the resolution/contrast, one can't deny the price vs. the reach as well as the close focusing ability.

All shot with the Rokinon 500/6.3, resized for web. (still a little soft haha) Most shot at higher ISOs on a K200D.

I love #5 and #10

Especially #5. Very good balance. Everything just blends in well

Fantastic

That does look like fun. I think one of these (maybe the 800mm varity) is next on my "fun stuff to buy list". Actually, maybe I should get one before I go on vacation..

Great shots Pete, I like your perspective as its a little different from mine

My favorite shot is the white-out of flowers. All different focus, interesting look. I could see having that one on my wall.

Hmmm....looks like we both found the same piece of stovepipe for a hood on our Rok 800mm. maybe you are the guy that pm'ed me the info to go buy mine.
