Yea, I’d agree, except for one thing: portability. You can throw a mirror in
your bag on speculation that you might use it, whereas the 300/4.5, well, you
gotta have a reason to haul it along!
Aside: anyone have any tricks for getting the OMZ 600/6.5 to perform on a
digital body? I’ve tried multiple tripods, weights, stopped-down, shutter
release delay, IS on/off — I just can’t get that sucker to be sharp.
This one was taken hand-held with the OMZ 500/8 mirror, on E-3 with 4/3rds
adaptor and IS set to “500”:

Typical mirror-lens flat contrast, which punches up nicely with a simple tweak
in Aperture:

So I go back up on the mountain toting the 600/6.5 and two tripods, seeking a
“more better” image. This was the BEST of a half-dozen different tries:

You can’t see it well in this 1024px image, but when blown up, it shows signs
of vertical movement.
This is the set-up, except I hung my camera bag on the lens, between the two
tripods. Didn’t help much!

I’ve always liked this lens on an OM film body, but now it just sits on the
shelf.
Anyone have better results to report? If so, how?
