Beware about the mirrors, their out of focus effect is very poor (or very
nice if you have some point light reflections) can't use for general
photography, I suggest you buy a third party 400/5.6 or even a tele zoom+2x.
You may end up with a F8-F10 zoom but should be ok with ISO400 film and good
ambient light or a tripod.
