$700 for any Mirror lens other than a Vivitar Series 1 Solid Cat is overpriced.

$700 for a Vivitar Series 1 Solid Cat is overpriced, too. That kind of money is Zeiss Mirotar league.

Someone will just see 500mm for that "cheap" of a price and will probably just buy it. Then he'll make a bunch of money because some silly ebayer didn't ask any questions.

Since we are on the subject, here is a review (in hebrew, but you can see the test pics, on D700) for the Bower 800mm mirror lens:

The overall verdict:
good optics , delicate construction (compared to nikon "tanks"), too bad there is no tripod collar but it is ridiculously cheap....

In the eBay world I wish this were true.
