These pictures were taken with the Nikkor 500mm reflex lens. Recently I started as a work study in RCC's photo lab, and during our end of the school year cleaning spree I helped clean the equipment room. There were lenses and attachments that seemed long forgotten on the backs of shelves and behind newer equipment. Since stumbling upon the reflex lens, I wanted to check it out and see what it had to offer. Over the weekend, I finally had an opportunity to do just that. The lens can only be focused manually, and any out of focus highlights that would ordinarily bokeh out turn into rings because of the design and use of mirrors. It was tricky at first because there is no way to set an aperture; the exposure can only be adjusted through ISO and shutter speed. There was a bit of a learning curve, but I am excited about using this lens in the future.
