sorry, could not resist

Yesterday, while looking through a junk closet for something else, I found something I'd been looking for for a long time--my Nikkor Reflex 500mm f/8 mirror lens! This is a big, heavy lens and built like a tank (although it's only 6" long). I wanted to see if it would work on a DSLR, so I mounted it on my Nikon D7000 yesterday evening around Sunset and tried it out. Here are a couple of photos:





These were just test shots, I used manual focus and aperture priority and did not attempt to improve exposure. The pictures were handheld at about 100th of a second, at subjects about half a block away. They're not great, by any means. but I think they do prove that the lens will be able to be used on that camera.

(Sorry about the big pics--I didn't want to reduce them for this purpose. I normally do so.)
