Love that Iron Curtain photo -- absolute classic! Thanks for the detailed info on the lens -- so many new veins to follow! Tried to find iotatau on Skype but failed, for some reason. Jochen Jansen didn't seem to pull you up either. Shall try again when your little angels grow up a bit, and drive off in your car, claiming to be giving you time to pursue your many hobbies. (g)

My version is a non-mirror normal tele lens, though. Thanks for confirming that, Jochen. Your sunset picture didn't seem to have the tell-tale "circles" that mirror lenses create of specular highlights. I didn't mention it at the time because I don't remember seeing the "circles" on anything other than reflected light, and don't remember if they are created when taking pictures of direct light. I don't know enough about light or physics to know if taking a pic of reflected light is different from taking a pic of direct light. Do you know if that lens comes with a Minolta mount? --Mike Buckley
