Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)i just purchased this lens from 47th avenue seller. they shipped it fast and today i tried it. i have canon 300D. obviously you will need a tripod. there is no way you can shoot a still picture holding 5 pounds in your hands and w/manual focus. it works pretty well at 650mm. to reduce shakeness you might want to use a shutter remote(6$ on ebay). at 1300mm it is hard to focus because having 23" lens and camera weight on the other end makes it hard. 2x converter makes it even harder b/c of shakement. you really need perfect conditions to use 2x with the lens. i use some manual parameters as exposure or shutter speed. i was shooting towards the evening and got pretty decent shots. i mean you need to understand that even 650mm is a huge zoom. 1300mm is insane and it makes it hard. this lens is made for a very specific purpose. you will not be able to shoot sports or fast animals b/c it is to heavy and too slow. but it is great for the lanscapes. i did some great pics using 200 ISO. a lot of people write bad reviews before they even try this lens. all we knoe that canon or sigma lens 700mm would run around 7000$ or more and obviously you cannot compare opteka with those 30 times more expensive lenses. but some people do and come up with the most rediculous conclusions. this lens needs time to get good pics. at 650-800mm it is perfect. you might even do some animal shots. at 1300 forget about it. as i mentioned earlier it is big. focusing is easy, if you ever used a telescope it is the same idea. it is hard to focus at 1300mm or more. it might look ok but when you zoom in to the pic it looks a little blury. for 250$ it is a great toy. anyone who wants to buy it needs to understand that this lens for a very specific pics. the object needs to be at least 30 yards away. in conclusion, i guess it is worth the money. i cannot talk much about the quality b/c i just had it for a very little time. it look alright. and please ignore those stupid reviews on different web sites of people who comment about this lens without trying it!
