The FOV becomes narrowly thin and you won’t be able to see whether you hit the bird until you open the picture on a big screen. Good AF improves the hit rate massively and massively moves the statistics of getting a good picture in your favor.

If you look at the optical formula they published you can see that it's actually an entry level astrophotography telescope with the field flattener lens element group built in, plus an iris, a helicoid focuser and a tiny little built in teleconverter. The build style is much more like those little telescopes than a military lens. Check out williams optics if you want to see more lenses like this with better optics. They have focal lengths available well past a metre
