Read about this on Cnet today: 500mm telephoto lens for under US$200 By Shawn Low on Jun 28, 2011 asia.cnet.com/crave/500mm-telephoto-lens-for-under-us200-62209545.htmHave you ever tried capturing an exotic bird using your dSLR's kit lens only to find it appear as a tiny speck on your LCD? If the answer is yes, then DealExtreme's 500mm F6.3 Telephoto Mirror Lens may be your solution. Featuring an all metal housing, the 500mm mirror lens has a constant aperture value of F6.3 and can focus as close to 2m. It sports a 95mm filter size and weighs only 600g. When mounted on a crop-sensor dSLR body, the 500mm mirror lens gives you a whopping 750mm super telephoto perspective which allows you to capture wildlife up close and personal with ease. The last time we checked, Canon's 500mm F4 IS lens was retailing at US$10,463. DealExtreme's 500mm F6.3 Mirror Lens can be yours for a mere US$182.50.

one thing bad about mirror reflex lenses are their harsh bokeh.
