Emphasizing the most horrific aspect of mirror-lenses. I've taken shots that show no donuts because there were no specular highlights. That is the mirror lens's best destiny.


A cat lens is not intended to be used as a general purpose lens. Many of
us like the effect, and use one for that purpose. Your comment is about
as valid as complaining that a wide angle lens is not good for wildlife.
