Mirror lenses have a few quirks. First, the aperture is fixed, you can't stop down. Second, strange donut-shaped bokeh. Third, generally low contrast (because of obstruction of the light path by the secondary mirror). I have never used an Opteka version, but from what I have read, they aren't even very good examples of mirror lenses.
