And don't forget the 600 has rack and pinion focusing. Not everyone's
cup of tea.

J,
All other things being equal, I believe the 600mm lens is going
to give better images (especially contrast and bokeh) than any 500mm
Reflex lens. It also has the advantage of your choice of apertures.
On the other hand the Reflex lens is very compact and is much
easier to control lens movement; not to mention much easier to tote
around.

I sold a camera bag to someone over there few weeks ago. That was no
hassle as far as I know and he was very happy.
But speaking of KEH, I see that they have Olympus 600mm f/6.5 and 500mm
f/8.0. I have been thinking about buying one for a while but am a bit
unsure which one would be better. I am leaning towards the 600mm one
because of the larger f, but am not sure which would have better image
quality. Is anyone here on the list who has experience of both those
lenses and can give some advice?
