EF/EF-S 420-800mm F8.3 Telephoto Zoom Lens(MF) for Canon EOS Rebel T8i/T7i/T7/T6i/T5/T3i/T2i/XSi/SL3/SL2/T100/90D/80D/70D/50D/5D Mark IV/6D II/7D II/1D X III II-Manual Focus DSLR Cameras Lenses(White)

For the money a really nice piece. Yes, it is not autofocus, not stabilized, and you have to change the manual shutter setting in the camera. The visual quality is just fine for what I bought it to do.These two pictures are from just over 30 feet away through the window over the kitchen sink.

Ok, so others have made this statement about this product. The lens connection is wrong. The notches and grooves that connect to a canon body have the wrong spacing. That being said, I didn't return it. Why you might be screaming at me. Well, I was bored and noticed that if the metal grooves were just a bit smaller here and there it would fit on the camera without an issue. So, I took my rotary tool out and ground the extra aluminum away. It fits on the camera now. I mean it is 67 dollars for a 800 mm lens, I wanted it to work. I took a few pictures before I came to work. Manual focus is severe, you will have to get use to it if you are not use to manual focus. I thought it was damaged at first because I turned the focus ring a good dozen or so times and it wasn't coming into focus but you just have to keep going the focus range is long with this lens. When I finally got it to focus on something it was clear. The F stop is 8 on this lens so if you want to have more than what you are focused on in the picture, this lens is not for you. I focused on a few leaves on a tree branch and everything else around the leaves was not in focus which was expected from the F stop. I bought it for moon pictures. The photography snobs will say that this isn't the right lens for that. Well I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on something, remember this is 67 dollars and you are paying for something that is 67 dollars.So remember it is 67 dollars and it might have the wrong connector ring on the end of it.

This lens takes great long distance photos. The picture quality is also good.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good product

The light arbitration on this lens is horrible, and you're limited in changing the image settings because the lens forces you to only adhere to specific specs. I was so excited initially, but so dissatisfied & disappointed in this lens as soon as I started to use it. I'm going to attempt taking some longer exposure night photos, but at thus point, I do not have high hopes on its exposure capabilities.

Very affordable and easy to use.Even better customer service!

Impressive service. The item arrived on time. I really like this product. I hope to enhance my photography experience with this item.This is an updated review: You need a tripod to use this telescope. It’s sturdy and inconvenient to use without a tripod. I had to get my tripod out of storage to use with this telescope. Otherwise, it’s a good choice.

Very poor quality! It has its work, but you should know how to set your camera to Manual, since it doesn't have autofocus, as it's a very basic gantry! And its ZOOM barely changes when you expand it.
