I really miss a modern angle on mirror lenses. The Sony/Minolta 500mm AF f/8 was pretty cool.

Most of the time the bokeh is horrible, but it sometimes works quite well, notably for shots #2, #3 and #5.

The Canon RF 600mm f/11 is sort of in the same scope. It's surely sharper but the bokeh is nothing to write home about either.

If they are working on such lenses, they will be AF.

If they can make autofocus tilt and shift, it won't be hard to make autofocus mirror lens, especially someone already did it.
Frankly I am sure they came out with something that's why they are investing there otherwise they already have the new cheap tele primes.
