Pros: Sharp enough, good yield (taking into account age ...), compact and relatively lightweight, solid construction

Cons: Poor Focus freehand, impossible to change the depth of field, not "dialogue" with the camera

Opinion: I kept since the days of film, and it is still not bad. Of course, for those who have only known digital photography, using this lens it is like climbing Mount Everest. Making freehand fire is far from easy view of the focal length of 500 mm (that of APS-C become 750), but the smooth and precise ring can be a bit 'in this sense. Being free of the diaphragm can not handle the depth of field, and in fact makes best with static subjects, on a tripod, and possibly with remote control and the mirror goes up. Under these conditions produces very good photos for a perspective of 35 years ago, provided that the light is good. Otherwise the contrast worsens lot. Keep in mind that it is completely devoid of electrical contacts and not "talk" to the modern digital camera bodies, for which the correct exposure must be done based on experience or by trials. Personally I like his bokeh typical reflex reflector, which transforms every point luminosor out of focus in a light donut. In its favor it also said that it is much lighter and more manageable than a traditional 500 mm, and its solid construction (plug, barrel and screw are made of metal lens hood) explains why, at least my copy, it is kept in excellent condition for more than 30 years. it is not surprising that it has not put among the "against" the lack of stabilizer. First of all it would be unfair and absurd to demand it on a view of the '80s, and then in my case I use on Pentax bodies, who stabilization on the sensor, so an extra help. If you can find around (online or in some flea market), it may be worth buying it.

Pros: Weight, bracket tripod-monopod, Sharpness, Filter Series, Defocused

Cons: Difficult management of MAF, non-stabilized, with the modern body loses the exposure, contrast Slippage in situations of critical light, delicate front lens

Opinion: Good Tele, the biggest obstacle to overcome is the management of the maf than in the photos on the move becomes a great problem. To be used in static photography, with a good light and a good dose of patience. On the right you are forced to exceed 1/750 sec to not generate the blur and image development requires a lot of attention to "pull" out of all the original colors. A lens is not for everyone, especially for those who are beginners.

Pros: Compact size, excellent construction, excellent relationship between spending and results

Cons: Not crystal clear, hard to use, inability to deal with the depth of field

Opinion: Bought it for business needs, having to photograph architecture with good resolution with a single point of view to over 2km.rnPer the expenditure, about 200 € complete with a 2x multiplier, the images obtained are satisfactory although abbisogna a lot of practice to be utilizzato.rnLavorando with exposure times around to 1/1000 will have the best results.
