They’re certainly not going to win any awards, but for handheld at 800mm with only IBIS to help (it doesn’t help much), I’m happy with these as the first shots from the crazy mirror lens. (Check out the donut bokeh!}
The cons, aside from not really being suitable for handheld use: it’s hard to focus (very shallow depth of field) & a little soft even when in focus.

Hey umpires, I get it that calling balls & strikes isn’t always that easy. I don’t mind if you get a few edge cases wrong. This pitch was outside, he got that right. It was meant to be to draw the swing & miss. But missing the bat being swung & calling it a ball? That’s not hard to get right - it’s right in front of you, right where you’re meant to be looking.
Sure, some check swings are close calls. This one ends with the bat pointing at the pitcher.
Got a fun new lens to try. None of my birds were there when I looked earlier, but since it is also manual focus it might be hard to catch most of them anyway.
Might try a moon shot tonight if the sky is clear.
Why anybody thinks an Intel platform is suitable for battery powered applications I do not know. Maybe this could work for robot arms or chefs, but at 200W-250W it just isn’t going to work in an actual mobile humanoid robot.
Sitting waiting for Claude to finish making some changes. There is a hot wheels that somebody left here on the sofa at my daughter’s practice. Couldn’t resist some photos (iPhone only as it is all I have with me).
