You know

no it makes it a DSL ...you need to put a spring on the mirror to make it a reflexe

Actually those mirror ‘cats’ have also been long known as reflex lenses! So it’s back to DSLR again!!!

And coincidentally Canon just recently filed a patent for a 400 f/5.6 reflex!

If it’s then mounted on a Canon 70D, would the two mirrors then create an infinite refection?

There is no argument for FF vs APS-c (or m43) with shallow DOF..as it's a law of physics and a very subjective personal thing if you want to make use of the shallow DOF only FF can offer
