Presentation. This aircraft has since been restored and moved to the barracks at Colchester, and was also displayed in Horse Guards for the RAF's one hundredth anniversary event.

$$$, a rara avis indeed. Marketing package, however, in perpetuity:angry:

 Utilisation pour une seule campagne marketing, internationale (publicité exclue). Ce forfait est conçu pour une campagne marketing promotionnelle d’une entreprise.

Why is a perpetual licence necessary for a single campaign?

Grand Place, Arras

Copyspace methinks. I never put it in the tags.

What brand? I've considered one but the Sonys of this world are too fancy. Might stretch to Tamron.

 

 

I had a Tamron 500 mm mirror lens that I ended up selling. It was well made, but the results were disappointing and usually not good enough for Alamy (too soft). Also, I found focusing the lens to be a huge pain. Bryan must be the master of manual focus. Minolta made a very nice AF 500 mirror lens that would fit your Sony DSLR. There seem to be quite a few on ebay. I borrowed one once, and the AF made a huge difference. Sony later rebranded the same lens after they bought Minolta. Don't think I would ever buy a catadioptric lens again myself. They are a cool, though.

 An ancient Tamron, manual focus of course.  The excellent EVF on the a6500 with contrast detect makes manual focus a doddle. 

 

Results are never brilliant, the lens lacks contrast and isn't intrinsically very sharp. The photo shown was a live news shot so not subject to the usual QC process.

 

I also have an old Canon fit Sigma 100-300 f4 and it's a much better lens.  It's marginal whether to crop from that or use the 500. I've got a couple of moon photos taken with them both as a comparison - not good enough for Alamy. I would need to hunt them down to remind myself of the result !

About £150 on ebay from Japan now, that's where my  Tamron 90 came from (well, they all came from there originally, I mean used!) so it's not too bad.

Problem these days is wanting to carry anything other than the kit 18-55. The Tamron tends to stay at home because it's a proper (metal) lens, meaning it weighs more than the A58 and zoom together.

Yes, as I recall the Tamron 500 mm was quite a heavy beast, by today's standards anyway.

What drove me crazy was having to turn and turn the focusing ring bank and forth on the Tamron. It seemed to take forever. I remember trying to photograph a flock of flamingos in Mexico with the mirror lens. By the time I got the thing in focus, the flamingos had flown away. 🦩
