Heck I had nothing better to do, that's not exactly true, I was looking for a further reason to procrastinate so I grabbed my *ist-D and Vivitar S1 600mm and shot off a sample. It's not bad. I prepared the shot as I would for the web so it's not as it would be direct from the camera. Noise reduction and a touch of USM, which I'd expect to be done by almost anyone shooting the *ist-D at iso 1600.

Nothing special for focus, just focused on a section of concrete with stuff on either side. Hand held.

Anyone here have any examples of the results of a mirror lens on a digital 
body?  Just curious how well it works.

Right now my tentative plan for the soccer match is (a) A200/4 (my son's) or perhaps a 300mm or 500mm mirror on the DS and (b) A100/2.8 on Super Program. Super Program will be iso400 B&W body.

Sincerely,

Collin
