Hi.
I know mirror lenses and their limitations - fifteen years ago, when I started taking photography more seriously, I also bought a mirror lens for experimenting. It was the Matsukov 1000mm. It was fun, and something useful for the moon. When I moved to digital, APS-C, it got just too long. Now I'd probably like to use it again, but it's too heavy for me being fifteen years older.
Now I'd like to get another mirror lens (perhaps 800mm would be fine for APS-C), not too heavy, and the best quality (being a mirror lens, of course). Suggestions?
