May I elicit some constructive commentary re where one shifts mentally from a lens like a telescope (weight - size - cost- etc.) to the option of high quality mirror telephoto? ........ibid re photography of Mars to the stars?? Realize this is not a simple question and mirrors have unique optical characteristics which are + or - given diff situations.

(At root of my question is a pristine Tamron 500 mirror and 2 X coverter sitting in a drawer for FAR too long. High speed films available today and this box and I need to be bayoneted.) Stimulate me plez.....
Thanks
Bill

That's a tough call. As I bought lenses i went form a 135/3.5 to a 200/4 to a 300/4.5. The 200 is the longest lens I can use hand held or prop on something
without using a real tripod. I do a lot of traveling and tend to do my
shooting from roadsides parking lots and the like.

For some shots I've taken with the 200/4 goto
