Decided the weather was too good to work at the office - so "working" from home at the moment...

The Pentax mirror lenses are the real thing, not just another cheap mirror lens. All the marque mirrors will be very expensive. The £99 mirror lenses are not in the same league!
The Pentax 1000 mirror is a great lens and is well balanced and may be used hand held and still achieve acceptable results

Ah, there are two, one of which is the 2000mm mirror, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SMC-Pentax-M-Reflex-13-5-2000mm-Pentax-Canon-Eos-Nikon_W0Q... now THAT's a mirror lens!
This is the tatty lens that was up for sale a while back. You may notice that half the mount is missing!

Quite a price for such an item...

This is a good one

My speciality - blunt. It's a failing that no matter how hard I try never becomes a virtue

I hadn't considered access. But then I really rather want a fisheye but can't justify the expense.
No problem. I have wanted a fisheye lens for a while - just as something a little different. Only had the one outing so far. Just hope I can escape the kitchen fitting exercise my wife has set and get out and about this weekend!

For "ELF AND SAFETY" the area immediately around the wheel is fenced off and a couple of "Security" shirts keep the public from getting too close.
Had to almost lie on the ground to try and hide the powerplant buildings and the kiosk - the rocks, part of the sea defences, just got in the way!

Anyway, thank you Mike for a very blunt and to the point comment...

Will risk another go maybe today, send the wife in to distract the enemy with a diversion...

First bit of sunshine and I went to the seaside. This is one of a series of shots I took of the Weston big wheel
