Need a spy camera? Sony NEX with Samyang 500mm lens!
You own a Sony NEX camera but you need a spy camera to look into your neighborhoods houses? You have to buy the Samyang 500mm lens 
I found s0me image samples of that crazy combo at Photogenius.ru. The Samyang is available on eBay for $190-$290 (Click here to see current auctions). And don’t forget that Sony made a nice 500mm f/8 Reflex which has been discontinued. That lens is also much more expensive ($749.00 at Amazon right now

Here’s what the text on that page says:
Mirrors are used not just in SLRs, but in lenses too. It is the common perception that these [mirror lenses] yield to the normal ones. We will not argue, but simply give a few examples from the wonderful site dchome.net.

This and the Minolta version are the ONLY autofocus F8 reflex made

Such lens, on APS sensor, should have a decent reach for the money. Quality is awful, but it was meant to be a toy lens(spy lens) to begin with.

How do results look for that using reflex lens in comparing shorter or equal focus lenght pro lenses?
Anyone has any good links on that?:-)

2 years ago |She has to make money too. Web services(hosting, e-mail, domain) are cheap but add up to a hefty bill at the end. Having an incentive to run this site allows her to make it the best Sony rumor site on the web(even if there were no rumors lately).

2 years ago |It’s not a particularly hefty bill. I run several sites completely out of my own pocket. I understand ads, even if a I don’t put any on my own sites. But this site is starting to look more like a minefield of referral links, with some genuine links thrown in sometimes, and posts only containing advertising and no genuine content are getting more common.
