This is a very curious lens as the one shown is not the standard Ohnar 300mm f5.6 reflex lens - this is the much rarer version which shows a variable aperture.  Now, conventional wisdom has it that a mirror lens always has a fixed aperture, so does anyone here know how Ohnar managed to incorporate a variable aperture into this lens?

The lens has a very distinctive appearance and cannot be mistaken for its more conventional sibling.  I've been looking for one for a long time with no success but as I have Tamron's SP 350mm, it's not exactly a necessity.  But I'm very curious to see just how the variable aperture, if that's what's shown according to the markings on the lens, was achieved.
