Opinion:It is a lens that must be used for what has been designed. If you do not have stabilizer, the tripod is almost mandatory, unless you have a machine capable of making good at high ISOs. If it is necessary to recover the depth of field, it will be necessary to diaphragm and things can only worsen. Currently for photographic hunting a lens that is not autofocus is only ballast, unless you are master of the specialty, experts in stakeouts etc. It is good for static subjects, far away, for perspective crushing and little else. It needs, like all the objectives, a good lens hood, in the specific length up to the limit of vignetting. If you have an EVF the dimming of vision is not a problem. With just over 100 euros you can experiment.
Opinion:I just took it and I still have not figured out how to focus! I paid € 40 for an experiment but I think I have to give up. I'm starting to think that maybe it's broken. start focusing at 100m, how is it possible? a device as simple as it might be? bho! the diaphragm opens and closes regularly. At 10 meters I see only spots, beautiful for backgrounds, pity that ahead of these blurred spots there is no subject
Cons:Aberrazzione remarkable color when photographing a subject nick light.
Opinion:I recently bought this lens between two weeks ago, price 152 euro on Amazon and I'm pretty good a lens is super cheap that results from discrete, ill-suited to be used freehand, it should be especially good for stationary subjects, it is not stabilized and the focus is manual, has a tremendous aberrazzione color backlit. Attack on SLR screw adapter.
Pros:Price, light weight, optical quality if you know how to use
Cons:Low light. Focus and aperture selection "laborious".
Opinion:I have owned this lens when I first started into photographic safari. I state that we are talking about a lens that costs just over € 100 but I think it has nothing to do with the catadioptric of the same focal length and the price also superiore.rnLa optical quality is not bad as long as you click with the necessary expedients. First of all, the lens suffers a disastrous drop in contrast when the front lens is hit by light. Just realized, I solved the problem with a lens hood homemade cardboard. Then, given the considerable focal length, you need to shoot with the necessary safety times. And here are the problems: the brightness is rather low, and this requires almost always raise the ISO (but this is not a big problem on the latest generation of reflex), but especially the vision in the viewfinder becomes fatiguing if the light is scarce. Consequently, the manual focus is not always facile.rnInfine, you must remember to manually close the aperture before shooting! RnTutto sumto be honest you can get results, so I would recommend it to anyone on a tight budget and if you are not going to use it for moving subjects.
