   Think again. hehe :)     You had me going there, Ed . . . didn't think
that
was correct but had to get out the digital camera and see.  Not so . . .
that
image in the mirror is farther away than the mirror surface.  ie the
distance
from the eye (camera) to the mirror plus the distance from the mirror to the
object. Those light rays haven't yet been gathered by the lens and focused
on the "film".  Give it a try to prove it - I had to.
   So, the images in the mirror should also be out of focus.  TS
