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 SMC Takumar 28mm f 3.5 is sharp and contrasty. Color is good. Flare is low but direct sunlight causes a noticeable loss of contrast. Use a lens hood. The focus ring has a short travel from close focus to infinity. Focusing past 30 feet is difficult to nail.
