Thanks Mike, I think I remember you took a 500/8 or a 350/5.6 mirror
lens on a trek somewhere in 2004.
My main use would probably be unobtrusive people shots (in addition
to "in the action" 21 or 35mm wide angle lenses, or short tele for
portrait). I'm afraid the "noisy" background will be a problem in
this situation.
