I am testing an old Russian (Soviet) MTO 500mm f/8 mirror tele lens (borrowed from a friend).
Yesterday I tried to use it with my digital Samsung NX10 body again, using a tripod this time.
To keep the gear steady I had to tighten mounting screws so much, that I could not lower the lens in time to get the full reflection of the duck in the frame. The duck appeared so suddenly...

Playing around with old lenses is addictive. :-) I have no experience of this lens, but I guess on the NX10 the APSC crop factor means it's effectively 750mm. That takes a lot of stabilising, as you found. In the circumstances, I think you have done well here.

Thank you very much, George!
My biggest problem with this lens is that its M39/M42 reduction is askew, so cannot use the lens tripod mount properly for better balance - it comes at an angle very difficult to compensate.
