That shot looks pretty good - the doughnut bokeh is not apparent until
pointed out. It is a very small pic but the bird looks to be reasonably
sharp.

You can end up with some gaud awful donut bokeh, and there was just a
little of that in the final image. Contrast is a little low, though
not as low as some lesser Mirror teles, and a number of zooms I've
used. On the other hand, there's a good amount of detail in well
lighted subjects. I thought that the image of the Cardinal was pretty
good. It would have been better but as I said in the Victor II post,
course focusing was by ground glass, but I used the center sensor for
fine focusing, and it picked the tiny branch in front of the bird not
the bird itself.

Ok, so not really a PESO per se. It kind of feels /finally/ be
able to use this lens on a camera with more or less modern image
stabilization technology. I was really looking forward to doing
that on the K20D but only after receiving that body did Pentax's
true treachery become apparent.
Lugging this around is a bit more discrete than a Canon 600mm L...
As an acquaintance is wont to say it's not long but it's sure big
around.

How's the image quality? I have a no-name 500mm mirror lens which is
the most god-awful, low-contrast, crap focus-quality thing I've ever
owned. I'm not sure why I haven't already dropped it in the driveway
and run over it a few times. Worst $35 on a used lens I ever spent
(20 years ago and still not one usable image from it).
