[OM] Alternate big zooms

[Daniel J. Mitchell [Permanent Link]]

Has anyone tried the "Albinar" 500mm zooms that keep popping up on e*ay? 
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1268088903 
 for instance. It's not a mirror, it's just a _long_ lens; now, Albinar =
who? so I'm suspicious of the quality, but that's sure cheap (BIN for $160,
reserve dunno but more than $50).

Another regular is the "Danubia" 650-1300s; BIN for $298, heavy, who the
heck are Danubia?

 Thoughts? I'm suspicious, for obvious reasons, but boy, that's cheap..
