Catadioptric lenses

Hi, The opteka 500 is not bad but barely focusable because thebarrel movement is too short.  I suggest you get something better for the same price.

500mm:

MTO 3M-5CA

MTO 3M-6A

Rubinar 500 F/8 better F/5.6

1000mm:

MTO 16-CA

Rubinar 1000 f/10

1100mm

MTO 1000A

They are all available on e-bay.

Here is a moon sample shot with the old, uncoated MTO-16 using a slack tripod:

The air wasn't quite still that night.  The lens can do better.

Here is a shot from the 3M-5CA
