I got a MIRROR LENS so you don't have to

Mirror lenses promise big performance in a compact, affordable package—but do they actually deliver? In this video, I take a deep dive into a popular mirror lens that looks great on paper but performs poorly in real-world use.

I’ll break down why mirror lenses often fall short in astrophotography and daytime use, what compromises they make to stay lightweight and cheap, and show real examples of the image quality (or lack thereof). Whether you're considering a mirror lens for your setup or just curious about the hype, this honest review will show you what to expect.
