mattybugeye 885 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Picked myself update mf sigma 500mm f8 mirror lense other day pretty cheap so gave it a try It's extremely unforgiving with focus got to really try nail it to the mm or destroys images And obviously causes mirror bokeh but I quite like that Here is best of a big bunch Thaughts please should I sack it? ybugeye/media/DSC_6907-1.jpg.html][/url] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hi mate...don't want to pi$$ on your chips...but I've had one and they are garbage. They would be ok if you lived in africa and F8 didn't matter...but the truth be said, they are not a lense for the UK.... But good luck.....JD 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattybugeye 885 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I wasn't expecting much from it to be honest but get the focus right can get a decent image not the same quality as my nikon lenses but a fraction of the cost looks like a bleeding telescope though all images are extremely under exposed so without lightroom I agree there useless but 40 quid lense above images are acceptable I think as with film I enjoy testing stuff lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
