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.

The 200mm f4 SMC Takumar is a pleasure to shoot with. Focus is silky smooth and it is lightweight despite being all metal construction. Color rendition is superb. It is tack sharp and has a smooth bokeh. Chromatic aberrations are low and contrast is very good for a telephoto.
