That Sony/Minolta 500 AF is a very good lens. Wish Sony's low light was as good as Canon's or Nikon's.

The strangest decision uptil now for Sony (there have been many, in my view): taking that 500mm f8 mirror lens out of production. That is kind of like Canon taking the MP-E 65mm f2.8 1-5x macro or TS-E 90mm f2.8 out of production <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> .
Sony seems determined to NOT build a serious DSLR line up, being more interested in toys. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
