Tried my very old lens on Pentax K5II. It's a reflex lens with fixed aperture F/11 and focal length 1000mm.

Very nice. Isn't the MTO a Russian lens ? I believe I have an old MTO kicking around somewhere.

Yes, you are absolutely correct! It's an old lens back from soviet days. When I got it 20 years ago, it was already a used one. It's well made and in good mechanical shape, but still difficult with work with because of huge focal length and lack of resolution. Focusing is challenging: when you barely touch the lens, this tiny shake is enough to make the live view image fly back and forth across the camera screen. Keeping it still during the shot to get more or less sharp pictures is extremely difficult, too.
