IMO the Sigma mirror (probably all mirrors) do quite well for close ups of nearby objects but are not so good with distant objects. I only see doughnuts in the Madonna image. I like the geometry of the electricity poles. Very sharp too. BTW, Sigma 600/8's go for about R4000 ($380) here so you seem to have picked up a bargain.

Thanks for commenting. I realize reading it now that it sounded like a challenge, but I was just saying that one was of a different nature than the others. The first is a Polaroid shot, the others are essentially lens testing the el cheapo Sigma 600/8 mirror lens I picked up.

It does well enough for a lens I paid less than a hundred dollars for, eh? :-)

That's an interesting collection of images.
I like the Madonna image -- quite mysterious.
I am too impatiens to try to figure out which is not like the others.
