Seems like they use to state a bit more, but only for a very short
time when they first started.
Your focus theory discussion baffles me a bit though.
Not a theory, just trial and error testing to find the best settings
for a mirror/camera combination. the sharpest mirror system that I
found was the old remote reality system, tack sharp (from a mirror
system standpoint) edge to edge, but only 90 degrees vertical and
split 75/15 down/up. A "downward" looking system. the best focus point
for this was about 8 meters out if I remember correctly - it's been
quite a few years since I used any mirror system though.
and yes, there are a few systems out there and new one still come out
from time to time, but I don't really follow them anymore as I'm not
shooting 360 video, and the market I shoot for now is way too high end
to even consider any mirror system.
Mirror systems can be quite useful if you have a market need for them,
but they will never come close to what you can do with quality glass
one a SLR or MF system.
