Thanks Jeff, there are a few around but like looking for any second hand lens, finding a good one is the challenge.

Thanks for the links to those reviews Bojan, very interesting and surprising that the Tamron holds up so well against the Canon 500mm L series lens. Now you'd never get one of those for under $200! So I guess this Tamron mirror lens is something I should hold on to. I think I'll keep my eye open for another one if it's going for a good price, might be able to resell it and make a profit!
