Mirror Lens Sunglasses
A catadioptric optical system is one where refraction and reflection are combined in an optical system, usually via lenses (dioptrics) and curved mirrors (catoptrics).
(Mirror Lenses) A pure mirror coating applied to the outside of a lens helps to deflect reflected light from entering the eye. The outside of the lens looks just like a mirror. It is important to know that the wearer does not see the mirror coating from the inside, but only sees the lens tint.
A type of long telephoto lens that uses several mirror optic surfaces to "fold" the light path, resulting in a very powerful telephoto lens that is relatively small.

Another shot taken on the borrowed Samyang 500mm f8 mirror lens. This image is probably more typical technically than the tower shot - it lacks sharpness & the contrast had to be increased somewhat. The knack to using these lenses to to take a lot of shots & a few of them will be useable. I took 15 pictures, 3 were worth bothering with. Although this lens has a fixed aperture of f8, its DoF is shallow.
The Guildford branch of LCE were also kind enough to lend me the somewhat larger f6.3 version which I found too unweildy too hand-hold. The smaller lens is delightfully compact & very cheap at ?129.99!

My Brother managed to sit on it in a way that would make the lens would pop out and render the frame useless ..
