[LRflex] Re: New Lens Design (not from Leica)

Looks like the rebirth of the Vivitar Series 1 Solid
Cat lenses, with a twist from Canon's DO lenses!

Won't go over here- bad Bokeh (article says poor depth
of focus).

Also, wouldn't they have the OOF donut highlights
characteristic of mirror lenses?  Maybe they'll
correct the donuts in software -- hey, cool idea --
bring back the Cats!  And head over to the US PTO
website!
