Super Cosina 100-500mm manual focus lens review and samples

I was recently give a Super Cosina 100-500mm Manual Focus Macro vintage lens by my good friend Jon Baxter. He's a fantastic photographer and your can see his work on Flickr.

All photographs and vide examples shown were taken using my Olympus Pen-F and I used a K&F Concept adapter.
This video was recorded on my Canon 80D with a Canon 24mm f/2.8 STM lens.
This Super Cosina 100-500mm lens is a pretty decent lens for photographers and videographers on a tight budget.

Hey, Howie - thanks for your honest appraisal on this rather eclectic lens. I'm a Minolta collector and have just acquired the Minolta version and am having it cleaned by Clarence Gass who is a longtime camera technician near Kansas City, KS. The Minolta version, as you may already know, has an oddity in that it has a close up filter instead of built-in macro. I guess it's just sort of fun to see what the lens manufacturers were doing some decades ago. I never knew there was this Cosina version of this zoom range so your video was interesting.

Thank you :)

Impressive still image. But why is that your video footage has a "Jelly effect" when on a tripod?

Is this the same as Vivitar series 1 100-500 f/5.6-8 Series or that one is a different lens?
