    I had always wanted to buy a cat but when I seriously began to shop for
    one a little voice would tell me to spend my money elsewhere.

    The donut circles are the worse part and only occasionally accentuate or complement a photo well.

    I did have a very good 300mm f/2.8 for a while that was crisp and fast.
    With a 1.4x it was still very good. So no need for the cat. Sold the
    set well too. (300 + 1.4 + 2.0).

    There have only been a handful of good mirror lenses, from what I've seen. The Questar 700, the Tamron 350 f/5.6, Zeiss Mirrotar, Some mirror telescopes are ok, but have too long a focal length to use as telephotos.
