Sony 500mm mirror lens

Mar 2, 2010

Any thoughs about Sony' 500mm mirror lens for wildlife - bird photography to be used with a A-200 or A-850. Really like my 60-300 G lens, but not quite long enough. I realize that it is only f8, but should be a great lens with decent lighting.

Any thoughts - much appreciated.
