I'm curious... I'll probably never own a Bigma, but super-tele intrigues me. When it comes to budget stuff, there's really two options: mirror lenses and cheap, slow Phoenix crap.
I know the general downsides to mirror lenses, fixed aperture, donut bokeh, etc. But what am I giving up in contrast and sharpness with these cheap optics. Anyone own one of these and is reasonably satisfied?
Just wondering.
