A new lens

[Sploosher]

Mrs Sploosher has just bought me this wonderful lens.

Is that a catodyoptric lens?

[RLN]

No, it's for a camera!

Nice one, Sploosher.

Nice to see you demonstrating your usual knowledge of all things photographic Martyn.

Is that a catodyoptric lens?

it most certainly is XP.............

I had a Tamron 500mm mirror lens in my manual focus days and found it excellent to use as it was very compact, I even got reasonable results at air shows

I have been after one of these for ages ,as my longest lens at the moment is a (22 year old) Sigma 400mm,the 500 should arrive on Thursday

@RLN, I (we)got it for a great price from ffordes in scotland, I checked on ebay and one was just sold for £100 more than this one

My boy used ffordes a while ago to buy a camera body. He was and still is happy with it.

I look forward to seeing some results with this new piece of kit. It should be an awful lot lighter than its conventional equivalent!

[Sploosher]

Thanks guys

I have bought a couple of lens from ffordes before and I find the service is excellent, you order before 2pm one day and you get it the next and with a limited warranty too.


Hoepfully I shall be giving it some use at the weekend........

watch this space as they say..........
