Quantaray 500mm f8 Mirror
Most Quantaray lenses were made by Sigma and some were made by Tamron and Tokina. This lens performs like a Sigma Mirror lens. It is reasonably sharp if you can hold it steady. It has the typical ringed bokeh we see from mirror lenses. Contrast is surprisingly high. While it is not a Zeiss or even a Tamron in quality, it is still far better than any of the off-brands flooding the market.

All I need to say is WOW. I've wanted an EBC Fujinon for years. It is all I hoped it would be.
It's tack sharp at 1.8 w/ a beautifully smooth bokeh. Color rendition is amazingly accurate. Focus is well dampened. Flare is well controlled w/ a uniform loss of contrast across the frame.
Bokeh fringing can be seen wide open but fades quickly at f2.8. Almost no chroma.
The only real issue I had is the way the lens meets the m42 adapter. The mount has a tab which interferes with the lens seating completely against the adapter. Despite this annoyance I love this little gem already.
