Anyone here have any examples of the results of a mirror lens on a
digital body? Just curious how well it works.
I think it is possible to obtain good quality pictures with such a lens
on digital. Here are examples from KMinolta D7D:

The problem can be right selection of model. From what I've read here
and there, the best ones are Tokina and Sigma (still manufactured), but
I guess Pentax 400-600 reflex should be good too. Mirror lenses
generally have lower contrast than classic ones (but it should be easy
to correct in case of digital), but they are free from chromatic
aberrations.
