Has anyone used either the 500 mm or the 800 mm Samyang lenses on their Alpha? If so, what were the results like? I'd love to buy Sony's 500 mm mirror lens, but don't have that kind of money! Are Samyang lenses worth buying?

I thought of that too. But having experience with the Samyang (Rokinon, Bauer, Opteka...) 85mm and 14mm I consider your mentioned lenses to be quite good too.

I've read some pretty mixed reports on this lens personally I'd pass on it Doc is right in that the Samyang 85mm and 14mm lenses (I think they do an even wider one) are evidently well respected.
