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.

Lens Reviews
My reviews are simple and to the point. My sample pics are usually of mundane subjects and often taken in less than ideal lighting. I have limited mobility so I shoot what I see and have access to. I believe that mundane subjects give a better representation of a lens' characteristics.
All pics are shot in RAW mode and quickly edited for white balance and exposure only. Images are resized to 900x600.
Most of the sample pics have been taken with subframe bodies, but I am currently doing tests with an Eos 6D.
I have also added bokeh-fringing test images for several lenses and I will be adding more soon.
