Just to give a sense of scale this is 43mm from the 18-55

Is that a bullet hole in the top shot? (well it is Glasgow!) Looks pretty sharp, I thought mirror lenses were notoriously soft?

It is pretty sharp and certainly look so on an A4ish print. However, I did use a hefty tripod and head with an even heavier Billingham bag tied to the centre column and of course the 2 second delay set up.

I've got the Tokina 500mm F8 mirror and I was pleasantly surprised with its sharpness.

I think that a lot of the criticism is due to unsteady tripods, mirror shake and in an awful lot of cases, aerial haze.
