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.

I'll admit my experience is limited, but I'd broadly agree. I got serious about photography 10 years ago, and when I first saw these things I thought "wow"! A long-reach, compact, and cheap lens!! Problem is the ones I tried were rubbish. You can't change the laws of physics.
