Yer askin if it was a mirror lens right?

The bokeh looks like it.

Yes, it's a 500mm reflex lens. Distinctive bokeh, fixed F/8.0 aperture, but light, and best of all, cheap!

Thanks for the comment on the second shot.

I have that same lens for my old Pentax K1000
Don't think it would work on my 20d though http://www.digitalgrin.com/images/smilies/ne_nau.gif

This is a Konica Minolta lens, it fits my KM 7D. Also, it's auto-focus, whereas most of the other ones are manual focus. I really like the lens - small, light, cheap, and great quality!

I love the first one. I think if you played with the curves you could improve on a great shot. Thnxs for sharing.
