Pros: Sharp, zero aberation, Solid build
Cons: F8, Bokeh dont look good in all cases
Sharpness: 8    Aberrations: 9    Bokeh: 7    Handling: 8    Value: 9   

Was in market for a mirror lens and when saw this could not help but buy. Glad I took the jump. Unlike todays mirror lenses this is build like a rock. Heavy, metal with a build in hood

My copy was nearly spotless and very few dust in the front lens element. Took some pictures and wow, they are much better than 70-300mm Tamron on any day. With F8, its need extra light and when it gets that, IQ is very nice
Trying to find how to attach the images to the review - flying aircraft and a high crane about 1 KM away came really nice
