Tried twice and came out an Olympian. Have owned Nikon, Minolta and Pentax film cameras over the years and Kodak, Ferrania (still got it from the '60's) and a wonderful Zenith E. Also still have a Lomo LC-A! Never Olympus

I have often walked into the gents with a camera and a whopping great lens attached, say if I'm out walking for instance. I am not prepared to put the camera away just to go to the toilet.
When leaving the said lavatory I get so many bad looks from people....I have no idea why??!!!???

You could try putting a condom over the lens and see what happens

Had some bad experiences and poor results with mirror lenses from quality manufacturers and would not recommend them at all. You cannot compare a quality optical lens to that of a reflective mirror.

I agree, but for economy, weight and compactness they are a good compromise. The one I had years ago was not so bad but I traded it in

Never heard of Rubinar! Looking on Ebay, nothing in the UK and they seem to hold their value too.

They ought to spend some money on this bit of Snape Maltings

Have a Centron 500mm f8 reflector that bought off ebay a couple of months ago - also apparantly does macro as well.......

Took some shots of the moon with it, but haven't really tried it out on much else to be honest...... bit of an impulse buy, probably going to sell it soon.........

Sorry, but wouldn't go anywhere near anything made by Centon
