  There's something weird about those auctions, though -- that one's a 
120-600/5.6-8, fair enough, but then he says "Very fast 1:5.6 Maximum 
Aperture: Most lens at 600mm long focal length can only achieve 1:8 and 
smaller maximum aperture. This fast 1:5.6-8 maximum aperture throughout 
the whole focal length"

  which is a bit misleading -- I suppose it _could_ be 120/8 -> 600/5.6, 
but I don't think so. Still, I'll bet it's a better lens than the 
600-1200 cannons that crop up.

  And check out 7554026142 (Tamron SP 500/8 mirror + 2x converter) -- I 
have one of those lenses and it's a perfectly fine mirror lens, sure. I 
would be amazed if the samples on that page were taken with that lens, 
or even any lens remotely close to it, because the bokeh is definitely 
not mirror-lens-ish..
