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.

Eos T2i - APS-C

These test shots are all taken using a T2i w/ a focusing helicoid between the lens and camera. Extension on most of these shots is somewhere around 50mm. Subject distances were approximately 1.5 feet from the lens. Macro ratio is approximately 1:4.
All shots were handheld and lighted by strobes in umbrellas.
In direct comparison to a Micro Nikkor 55mm the Fujinon did well. The Nikkor was slightly sharper w/ more contrast and that is no surprise. If you have a solid macro lens like a Micro Nikkor 55 f3.5 you should use it. If you choose to shoot macro with this lens you will not be disappointed, though.
