You can end up with some gaud awful donut bokeh, and there was just a
little of that in the final image. Contrast is a little low, though not
as low as some lesser Mirror teles, and a number of zooms I've used. On
the other hand, there's a good amount of detail in well lighted
subjects. I thought that the image of the Cardinal was pretty good. It
would have been better but as I said in the Victor II post, course
focusing was by ground glass, but I used the center sensor for fine
focusing, and it picked the tiny branch in front of the bird not the
bird itself.

Ok, so not really a PESO per se. It kind of feels /finally/ be able to use
this lens on a camera with more or less modern image stabilization technology.
I was really looking forward to doing that on the K20D but only after receiving
that body did Pentax's true treachery become apparent.
Lugging this around is a bit more discrete than a Canon 600mm L...
As an acquaintance is wont to say it's not long but it's sure big around.

How's the image quality? I have a no-name 500mm mirror lens which is the most
god-awful, low-contrast, crap focus-quality thing I've ever owned. I'm not
sure why I haven't already dropped it in the driveway and run over it a few
times. Worst $35 on a used lens I ever spent (20 years ago and still not one
usable image from it).
