High-Power 420-1600mm f/8.3 HD Manual Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon EOS 70D, 80D, 90D, Rebel T3, T3i, T5, T5i, T6i, T6s, T7, T7I, T8I, SL3, EOS 5D, EOS5D IV, 6D II, 7D II SLR Cameras

I was skeptical, even after seeing the photos others sent. Color me surprised though. Let's face it: you're looking at this because you want to take lunar pictures. Maybe even planets! I'll say that I don't think this has *quite* enough zoom even on a crop frame to get a good picture of Saturn or Jupiter, but it does great for the moon and stationary terrestrial objects! I compared the results to the S23's zoom and it is night and day. If I wanted to spend a bit more time and effort, I could probably get nearly crystal clear images of the lunar surface, but even without seriously fiddling with the focus, it gives a significantly better image than the S23 and its witchcraft of cropping a 200mp image and using AI and extant images to fudge the results. It is a beast though. I'm 6' tall and even collapsed with the 2x adapter, it's longer than my forearm. That said, it's not heavy! A sub-$100 tripod will easily hold it up even with the attachment being on the camera body. Again, I have to make sure people understand: there is no autofocus, you zoom by literally pulling the lenses apart from each other, there is no image stabilization, and it absolutely needs the telescope mount. What do you expect for a $150 lens? That said, this thing is an amazing value. Go check for a 500mm lens right now. It's probably more expensive than this thing. Sure, your uses are going to be more limited especially as you learn to finesse the focus, but for the price, I don't think you're ever going to do better. Obviously these aren't Zeiss lenses, and you're going to have to live with correcting some chromatic aberration. That's to be expected. Even in my best lens, there's a tiny hint of it. If you're looking for a recommendation to get this lens, you've got one here. Just understand the limitations and you're good to go!

Waaaay better than expected. I’m not sure what i thought it was going to be but i have a few friends who have their feelings about lenses that aren’t name brand to their camera. This was just fine. Could zoom on the moon but can’t stay still long enough to get a good pic- i need to get a tripod. Was able to get some really nice shots of swans across a lake and some birds in high trees. Will keep playing with it but so far, zero complaints

Fits my Canon Rebel T5 perfectly. It is easy for me to use and offers great zoom functions. It isn't automatic focus so it takes a little bit of practice to focus the lens on a small subject. Looks professional and a pretty good lens for the price.

There is lent or something on the inside of the lense so I can't really use this. Whoever made this didn't do a good job with cleaning and the inspection.

Works great it is manual

Update the more I learn how to use this the more I'm in love with it. If you're thinking of getting it think no more. Must have patience. So I never do reviews, but I really wanted to clear things up, there are reviews stating this doesn't work with the rebel T7 WELL IT DOES WORK. I purchased this to give it a whir. I didn't want to spend a fortune. So I purchased this. Remember this is all manual no auto. It takes time to figure out the proper focus, but I just focused on another city's water tower from our house and the distance is 9.6 miles away so yes it works. So those of you that say it dosen't work, give it some time and don't give up and try. I purchased this mainly for our trips out west to spot out wildlife. I can't wait to take it and try it out.

Bargain bin shopping can be an adventure and a bit like playing the lottery. Sometimes you miss, sometimes you do alright, and sometimes you get a hit. This is alright. It's not a hit; at the same time it's not a miss, either. It has the capability to take clear, sharp photos and does well. Everything is manual; there is no auto-focus or image stabilization. I use a tripod and wireless remote shutter to take photos with this. It's not a bad product and does alright for a hobbyist who can't afford a branded telephoto lens that costs hundreds or even thousands.

Love it! I use it with my Canon T100, and got a beautiful picture of the moon! Highly recommend if you want a good lens without spending a fortune.
