I am testing an old Russian (Soviet) MTO 500mm f/8 mirror tele lens (borrowed from a friend). It appears to be a good choice for street candid shots :) Crazy donut-shaped bokeh made its statement here obscuring shapes of dark leaves in the foreground. Disclaimer: the middle finger was unplanned ;) I am not going to discuss its meaning :) ----- Revueflex SD1 + MTO 500mm f/8 + Kodak T-Max 400 + Kodak HC-110 (Dil.B)

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... ----- Samsung NX10 + MTO 500mm f/8 + SilverEfex

I am testing an old Russian (Soviet) MTO 500mm f/8 mirror tele lens (borrowed from a friend). It is a close-up taken from the lens minimal focusing distance: 4 meters. Correction: I was standing more than 4 meters from the orchestra. Still it is a close-up on the lens terms ;) What you see in the background is donut-shaped bokeh typical for mirror lenses. ----- Revueflex SD1 + MTO 500mm f/8 + Kodak T-Max 400 + Kodak HC-110 (Dil.B)

I am testing an old Russian (Soviet) MTO 500mm f/8 mirror tele lens (borrowed from a friend). It is heavy, its minimal focusing distance is 4 meters... Today I mounted the lens onto a Samsung NX10 body (or maybe I should say that I attached my tiny NX10 to the monster lens) and took some shots just to see the donut-shaped bokeh in colors. Funny but almost impossible to focus when hand-held. Of course I am going to use a tripod next time. ----- Samsung NX10 + MTO 500mm f/8

I am testing an old Russian (Soviet) MTO 500mm f/8 mirror tele lens (borrowed from a friend). It is heavy, its minimal focusing distance is 4 meters... This time I missed my object but I am happy to see small rings around flower petals just outside the DOF. Things in the background are not so pretty though. They look more like unwanted blotches. But they are not. There were people in their bright, summer clothes standing there :) BTW the owner of the lens tells me that this type of bokeh is commonly named donut/doughnut-shaped. I am going to use the term from now :) ----- Revueflex SD1 + MTO 500mm f/8 + Kodak T-Max 400 + Kodak HC-110 (Dil.B)

I am testing an old Russian (Soviet) MTO 500mm f/8 mirror tele lens (borrowed from a friend). What you see in the background is ring-shape bokeh typical for mirror lenses. ----- Revueflex SD1 + MTO 500mm f/8 + Kodak T-Max 400 + Kodak HC-110 (Dil.B)

I am testing an old Russian (Soviet) MTO 500mm f/8 mirror tele lens (borrowed from a friend). The ring-shaped bokeh (barely noticeable in the lower left corner of the frame) resulted in (almost) IR effect over twigs of trees in the background. ----- Revueflex SD1 + MTO 500mm f/8 + Kodak T-Max 400 + Kodak HC-110 (Dil.B)

I am testing an old Russian (Soviet) MTO 500mm f/8 mirror tele lens (borrowed from a friend). The lens is not as sharp as I expected. But some frames are sharper then others ;) Almost no ring-shaped bokeh this time. Grass was too uniform to produce more effects. ----- Revueflex SD1 + MTO 500mm f/8 + Kodak T-Max 400 + Kodak HC-110 (Dil.B)

I am testing an old Russian (Soviet) MTO 500mm f/8 mirror tele lens (borrowed from a friend). What you see in the background is ring-shape bokeh typical for mirror lenses. OK, the big ellipses are tops of tubas raised up by orchestra men standing behind. ----- Revueflex SD1 + MTO 500mm f/8 + Kodak T-Max 400 + Kodak HC-110 (Dil.B)

HFF and a nice weekend! ----- Revueflex SD1 + MTO 500mm f/8 + Kodak T-Max 400 + Kodak HC-110 (Dil.B) I am testing an old Russian (Soviet) MTO 500mm f/8 mirror tele lens (borrowed from a friend). What you see in the background, behind the fence, are white and red roses blurred by ring-shape bokeh typical for mirror lenses.
