Re: [APML] f/8 Mirror Lens...



Has anyone ever tried using one of the 500mm f/8 mirror lenses for astrophotography? They seem to be relatively inexpensive and allot of manufacturers have them.
 
Thanks, Jim Ives
 
These lenses look attractive for astrophotography, but everyone I have spoken to about them complain of lousy focus, particularly on the edges of the image.
