The return of Doughnut Bokeh?

[AJShepherd]

This is the second thing I've seen this week about a mirror lens being released in M4/3 format.

While I have to admit that Tokina one does look like it belongs, unlike the Kenko one, still. Mirror lenses?
What is this, the seventies?

Does this mean we're going to see a resurgence in doughnut bokeh?

Personally, I would definitely buy this if I had an m4/3 camera! Looks great. And not too slow either - f6.3 is definitely not a bad aperture for a mirror lens.

I have used old Vivitar mirror lenses on film and they were wonderful. On digital they were terrible. I know the Sony Alpha system has a mirror tele in its line-up. Hopefully they figured out a way to optimize these for digital capture.
