500mm cinematography test

[95bradders95]

I was given an Ensinor 500mm f/8 mirror lens, I bought a M42 to EOS adaptor so I could use it with my Canon EOS camera.
I was struggling to focus, not sure if its because it isn't the sharpest lens, or if I was just bad at focusing. I'm assuming it is just because it isn't the sharpest lens though.
It's amazing how close I get to things with this lens, with my normal lenses I would have just walked away from the opurtunity of filming these dragonflies.

neat, makes me want to dig out my longest lens.. maybe I will.

I dig it. Wow, what a narrow field of focus.. I foresee myself having a tough time getting crisp imagery.

That is pretty sweet.
