Samyang 500mm f/6.3 Mirror Lens (White) (T Mount) Review

If you looking for telo for serious photography, you will be surely disappointed.

There are 2 major problems, namely, focusing and shaking. As I used manual focus lens for years before switched to auto-focus systems, I used to think the focusing is NOT an issue with me. I am wrong! Focusing is extremely difficult on my EPL-1. As I used it major for distance object, I used to think set it to infinity and all focusing problem will be solved. When I discovered that the focus ring can pass over the infinity mark, I even think my lens is faulty. After examined the manual, this is by design to compensate temperature change.

So, I had a really hard time to focus the moon.

Shaking problem is well noted in many reviews, some even said that the lens is only usable with 1/1000. However, it works quite well with my EPL-1. When IS-1 is enabled, I can even shoot at 1/100 with reasonable clarity. (Note: remember to set focal length to 500mm in the IS menu)

Besides these known problems, this is a good lens at this price range. Really short and light for this focal length. Acceptable sharpness and contrast.

For micro use, this lens extremely short DOF is both a problem and advantage. If you can overcome the focusing problem, out of focus light spots will turn to nice circular rings. The result is really lovely.

I have serious telos from Nikon and Tamron. This lens is a good `toy' for effects and experimental use.

Pros:
1. Short and light weight
2. Shaking problem is NOT too serious for cameras with in body IS like EPL-1
3. Nice circular ring for off focus light spots

Cons:
1. Focusing is really difficult
2. No definite infinity and subject to temperature change
