Mirror lenses inherently suck for photography. They were bad 50 years ago and are just as bad today. New focal lengths in new mounts won't erase any of the shortcomings. It is actually embarrassing to see a company like Tokina release these things.

Those are strong sweeping statements.
I'm pretty sure there are use cases where mirror lenses like these are the best option, where reach, cost and portability are more important factors than bokeh quality or lack thereof.

Hell, even the James Webb telescope basically uses the same mirror principle. lol
