Comments about Pro Optic Pro-Optic 500mm f/6.3 Mirror Lens for Olympus SLR Cameras:
This IS NOT $1000.00 lens so DO NOT expect it to perform like one. I read all the reviews, including the negative ones, and decided to go ahead and buy it. I am glad I did. It is totally manual focus and if you take your time you can get some good shots. I have placed several I took the first day I owned the lens. It works great in sunlight and you can get some great effects with it. I am going to buy Olympus' EC-20 teleconverter for my E-520 besides to use with my 70-300mm already. This is a good lens, well made, and is very satisfying to use.

Comments about Pro Optic Pro-Optic 500mm f/6.3 Mirror Lens for Olympus SLR Cameras:
Amazing 500mm lens (1000mm effective if using a 4/3 body) that can fit in a COAT POCKET.
Using this on E-510 with built-in image stabilization. The depth of field is very narrow and focusing is manual, so a sharp eye and a little sharpening in post is a must.
Got it just before a trip up to Maine and used it for the first time while there. Below is one of the very first pictures I shot using this lens. It was taken hand-held, in the font yard, while standing in two feet of snow. Might not be National Geo but I'm happy for a first attempt.
*NOTE- I ORDERED ONLINE AND RECEIVED A OM ADAPTER, CALL TO ORDER WITH A 4/3.
