We are comparing a 300mm focal length F/2.8 lens to a 1800mm FL f/9 mirror optic. I can assure you focus was spot on in both cases. The TAL 200k has an aperture of 200mm diameter compared to the lens of 105mm diameter.
Thanks for even thinking about the differences, it has been a comparison I have been meaning to do for a while.

Yeah, I thought the 300 F2.8 would be sharp as heck even at F2.8. It's the same with my 300 F4. The sharpness doesn't even increase stopping it down.
