400mm f/6.3 mirror

What the heck were they thinking? I mean, take the usual drop in transmission of a mirror lens into account, we're looking at a 400/8 refractive lens here. Who is missing such a lens?
Depends on how small/cheap it is. If it has AF I might give it a 2nd look.
If I'm reading it correctly, note it appears to be Kenko branded, not Tokina.
<a class="bbc_url" href="http://snowporing.deviantart.com/">dA</a> Canon 7D2, 7D, 5D2, 600D, 450D, 300D IR modified, 1D, EF-S 10-18, 15-85, EF 35/2, 85/1.8, 135/2, 70-300L, 100-400L, MP-E65, Zeiss 2/50, Sigma 150 macro, 120-300/2.8, Samyang 8mm fisheye, Olympus E-P1, Panasonic 20/1.7, Sony HX9V, Fuji X100.
I tried to read the linked page via babelfish ...
I see the 400mm being marked as "lightweight"
and "compact", which are certainly attributes
of mirrorlenses ... but I don't see it explicitely
mentioned that the design will be a mirror lens.
Have I missed something in the text?

They've recently brought a very promising 16-28mm f/2.8 F-mount in the market as an alternative to Nikon 14-24mm. It's always good to have decent alternatives in the market (especially if they're FF compatible UWAs)...

Yep. However, some sites reported about this lens [url="http://forum.photozone.de/index.php?/topic/379-tokina-at-x-17-35mm-f4/"]earlier[/url] than dcwatch <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' />
