Get what you pay for
By B.Shea
Much like the Opteka fish-eye lens I bought at the same time, I didn't expect much of a quality lens for this low price. And got exactly what I paid for.
A low priced, low quality lens that does a specific job.
I only needed something super telescopic for those few times I might see a hawk or eagle at a distance. Just to capture the moment, note to record for all prosperity.
The closest object I could focus on was about 100 feet away. Anything closer will not focus, which is OK of course.
The lens is extremely slow, so you'll want to pop your ISO way up, even on bright days.
The lens is heavy, and needs a tripod. I've shot without, but it is like having another leg sticking out of your face. There is no autofocus. But, good for specific purpose.

Have had this lens for eight months, requires extreme patience and must be Tripod mounted. Needs a fluid tripod head for best result. With 20D no apperature control and manual focus. Shutter speed and ISO speed sets the exposure. Do not like that the lens "bends" in the middle where the zoom tube meets the body at full extention. OK for "hobby fun", not for quality. If you can afford it for "fun", enjoy.
