Bought new KOWA PROMINAR 500mm F5.6FL (1 Viewer)

Sorry for my poor English, but with the help of Google, I hope you can understand what I mean.

I was lucky enough to buy the kowa prominar 500mm F5.6lf three months ago. I haven’t seen any articles about it in the forum for a long time. Don’t you all like this lens? I like its imaging very much. I usually use the 500mm direct focus to shoot birds. Apart from manual focus, there are almost no shortcomings. The main reason is that its low price has high cost performance. The photos taken are no better than the 500mm fixed focus. It is inferior. Observation with TP-88EC1 and TE-11WZ II eyepieces has surpassed the optical capabilities of 884. I have attached a few sets of photos to share with you.
