whee! got a cool old 500mm manual-focus mirror lens & an adapter to make it fit on the 10D off ebay for $100... witness the bunny outside my office this morning:
it's actually just a telephoto, which basically means a "fixed zoom" -- you can't zoom in & out, but it's highly magnified.
The bunny was about 100 feet away maybe?
it's pretty cool, but I need to use it on my tripod as just my normal hand shake is earthquake-like when that magnified. I used a tree to stabilize the camera for the bunny.
the lens i got off ebay certainly isn't pro quality like this one... but then again it wasn't quite as expensive either ;)
