Hello Maver, I have a centon 500mm mirror (fixed F8 as John says) which I originally used with my MZ-10. I find it's a bit tricky to get really sharp images, I tend to push the ISO to 800 and hope for good light! But the magnification is good though, and with a 2x converter gives even larger images, but again with at the price of several stops of light. On the other hand it is much more portable and manoeverable than my 75-300 mm zoom.

The moral of the story therefore is....hang on to your old film lenses for the day when full frame 35 mm sensors arrive! (or raid ebay now and hoard them)

As long as you are running XP, the built-in Windows Movie Maker is pretty good for no extra money!

We are going to see a lot more of LED lighting in the future, especially as they get this small http://www.luxeonstar.com. I always have an LED headtorch in my rucksack, but I use a hybrid LED/Xenon bulb version for serious night walking, as the range of LED's is limited unless combined with clever (and bulky) reflectors and lenses, as seen in some cars. Watch this space (but you might need to wear shades)
