Hey /p/ I'm back with my 500/f5.6 lens.

I got tired trying to catch weather good enough for shooting extremely distant objects, so I went to snap some photos of windsurfers. Turns out this lens works great for this despite being MF and fixed-aperture.

Bonus skyline #2 (with 2x teleconverter, thus making the lens equivalent to 2000mm/f11 on a film camera)

Pretty cool. Definitely a mirror lens with those donut highlights, but pretty sharp. Now I'm tempted to get one to save some weight.

I really like this one. Great wave, and great composition. Good work! The only thing that bothers me a little is the... bokeh? Is that what it's called?

Save weight? Not with Russian lenses. I just took my kitchen scales: 1480g including adapter ring, and the huge metal hood adds 180g more. This is more than, for example, Tamron 200-500/f5-6.3 lens, which is not catadioptric and has an AF motor.

What you can save with this thing is a) size and b) money, since I don't know of any other lenses of comparable focal length/aperture that cost $300.

Weird bokeh is weeeird, I know. But no way I'm paying three times the price to get the bokeh right :)

Here's more of the cool kite-surfer guy.

Yeah, I never really and truly understood what ugly bokeh was until seeing your OP picture.

Other than that, though, great shots.
