Yes Doug,
a Sigma 600mm f8 on an SL2, very nicely balanced for such a long focal length. If you're very careful (not too much coffee either) you can hand hold it at 1/125th with no particular problems, only 5inches long at infinity and 3 1/2 inches diameter, not too heavy either.At 5'6" (ish) minimum focus it's a great macro too. The lens is an M42 screw mount so I used an inner M42 ring for a "T2 to Leica" adapter that I found in a bits-box at a local photo shop, probably from an old Danubia lens.

Yup, sometimes they just refuse to give you their best side. Mirror lens?
