Boggles the mind of this amateur I never expected to be able to afford a lens of this power. When I saw it, I figured at the price, how could I go wrong? (Admittedly, lenses are vastly cheaper than when I purchased the best film-camera I could afford–$600–in ’94 and a mere 210mm lens cost as much as the camera.) I live in a rural river valley and the minute this lens arrived I tried it out on the distant hills across the river. WOW!! they look like my backyard and the lens found features my eyes haven’t seen in 17 years in this house. A tiny speck on a distant hillside I thought for all these years must be an air-quality monitoring station (it was a rectangular shape, not tall) turned out to be an old water tower made of stone, looking like a castle tower (wish I could show it to y’all). I could see the individual stones. My best binoculars didn’t show me this. If you can afford the moderate price, are not a professional (if you’ve read their reviews, you know they like it but…
It’s a lesson Closest analogy: It’s like holding a big magnifying glass in front of a 12″ TV, trying to make it look like 42″.Astronomy: I got plenty of moon photos at 650mm and 1200mm. Two tripods and “pillow” under the lens, because even with the camera timer, the lens/camera kept shaking for several seconds. I managed to keep it completely still and used the remote.Then I compared it with a moon picture I took with my 200mm Canon lens a week ago.Result: if I crop the moon from the 200mm Canon lens photograph, I get the SAME resolution with the photos I got with 1200mm setting on this Opteka. A little better contrast/colors with the Canon lens. I posted side-side comparison here (currently image 14/18 in this site).Nature: Forget it if the subject is moving. If it’s still, you’ll get the same result with a 250-400mm lens, but with slightly less resolution, compromised colors and probably “fog”, depending on the time.Who may like this lens: Amateurs…
Not an amazing lens, but for this price you shouldn’t expect one I lug around a 6″ (1500mm) SCT to take photos of the moon and it is terribly inconvenient and I wanted to take wider shots.I saw this and thought about it for about 10 seconds before clicking “buy”. The lens comes with a carry bag and I was surprised to see it came with the t-adapter. I thought I saw a lot of reviews complaining that it didn’t come with one, maybe Opteka added it as a result? Anyway, I already had one for my telescope but now I have two.My first complaint is that the end cap for the lens does not fit when the t-adapter is on. I wish it came with another end cap that fit the t-adapter because I don’t plan on ever taking the it off since the lens is useless without it. Furthermore, the front lens cap refuses to stay on. It does not snap on like regular canon lens caps and if you turn it upside down, the lens cap WILL fall off. This is relatively annoying.Tripod.You’ll see that Canon L-series lenses come with a super…
