Telephoto Lens 420-800mm EF Lens for Canon, Manual Focus MF Zoom Lens for Canon Nikon 4000D 2000D 1200D 850D 800D 750D 250D 200D 90D 80D 77D 7D 6D D5600 D90 D3200 D5200 D5100 D5000

A manual lens that performs surprisingly well for the price. You get exactly what it says on the tin, so do be aware that this lens is entirely manual, however it delivers excellent quality considering the low price. Lack of image stabilisation and the size of the lens makes a tripod almost a requirement, even with in-body stabilisation of the G9. A remote shutter release also helps greatly. I am using this lens with a Panasonic G9, and the lens performed well. The seller was incredibly helpful, and kind enough to provide a M43 adapter instead of the included Canon/Nikon adapters. Picture quality has been good, with little distortion evident even at 800mm. Very clear at 420mm, producing comparable results to a Panasonic 100mm - 300mm telephoto. Chromatic aberration was mildly pronounced at 800mm, but nothing that couldn't be fixed in Lightroom.

This is great value for money. No debate. The problem is that when you are playing with a 400-800mm things need to be right to get a good result. Finding the right focus is not trivial especially at long distances. F/8.6 is also quite small, making it difficult for deep sky photography. Mechanically, it isn't incredibly stable by the time you have the ring in. I think, it's a great entry level Tele but it has huge limitations. I would definitely buy it again.

Photography can inspire with one simple click and yet there is this preconceived notion that you have to pay thousands of pounds to take a good photograph. Great photographs do not come from that preconceived notion but rather in the way you use your individual creativity to compose that image. That said, it brings me to the JINTU 420-800mm Telephoto lens. Price wise you simply cannot go wrong with this lens. It is very well made and extremely easy to use. You absolutely need to use this with a tripod but the results are really good. Definitely well worth the price.

This lens is basically a telescope that mounts to your camera. Don't expect auto focus and aperture settings. You need to compensate with ISO and exposure times. I've gotten some great shots of the moon, some shots of birds in the garden and a plane that is 12km's in the air that I could read the logo on. This lens is just over 100 Euro so don't expect it to do everything for you. It's a manual focus lens and you need to know a bit about the settings on your camera to get the most out of it and some processing skills. That said during the day on automatic mode on the camera it does a decent job. The actual build quality is really good. It's has a nice weight to it, the focus is very smooth and you look like a fancy pants photographer when you have it on the camera. 10/10 for this lens for the price.

I mounted the lens to the Jintu 2x teleconverter and set it to the full 800mm focal length and pointed it at Jupiter. My setup uses a basic tripod and a remote release, so it's a case of lining up the shot and getting the focus just right and then balancing out the ISO and exposure. The aperture is low but the object (Jupiter) is bright, but with 800mm focal length, x2 teleconverter and and APS-C crop sensor DSLR, celestial motion becomes very apparent. Fast shutter speed is necessary with ISO high enough to gather enough light but low enough to avoid excessively noisy images. I think I reached the limit for how far I can push it. The resolution is low at this magnification and when combined with atmospheric distortion and how little light there is reaching the sensor, to be able to see some of Jupiter's characteristic stripes is quite impressive.

Sent back, looks great, but not as expected

The price should have given a clue to the quality. Very poor lenses, the ring which is supposed to lock the focal tube simply doesn't work, not even using two hands to turn it. Its also un-assuringly light which doesn't inspire confidence. Sent it back for a refund and fair play to Amazon, reimbursed me straight away with no hassle.

For 85 quid this is great value. It is fiddly. It is a manual lens. You need to have it on a tripod and know how to set your camera manually you dont set Fstop it is what it is at whatever focal length you set shutter and ISO. The problem is keeping it still. They recommend tripod. It is impossible to get any sort of result without one. They also recommend remote shutter release. I have emailed Jintu as the one I have doesn't seem to work with this lens due to it being manual. I suspect that I may need to change something in the menu of the 1100d I am using it with. I have used it at 700mm on a tripod and used the 2 sec timer to reduce shake and the results are pretty good, well worth 85 quid... just need to sort the remote shutter issue

Canon 1100d makinem için aldım, beklentimin üstünde bir kalitede. Manuel bir lens ama zaten yılda bir kaç kez kullanacağımdan 20 kat fazla para verip otomatik bir lens almanın hiçbir anlamı yok.

No sé si es problema del lente pero calidad "HD" no tenía. Las canon en M lo reconoce enseguida. Es recomendable usar tripode porque como es tele necesitas tener una precisión buena. No es muy rápido y pilla poca luz por lo que si piensas hacer fotos fuera tiene que ser un día con buena luz o la que pongas tu. Enfoca bastante bien y hace efecto bokeh. Para las estrellas no sé yo que sea bueno o para la luna (NO llega a tanto). No sé, podría comprar uno si quiero trastear a lo barato y quiero tirar dinero… pero este lo he devuelto. Por cierto, NO VALE PARA FOTOS DE DEPORTIVAS.

Sapevo che la qualità fosse accettabile, senza pretese, mentre da parte mia posso dire che sono soddisfatto, certo la messa a fuoco è manuale, ma sulla qiualità non si discute, per essere un economico è un ottimo economico ad un prezzo straordinario, al momento ho fatto poche fotografie degne di nota, ma tutte con ottimi risultati, mi riprometto di valutarlo a breve in occasione di un viaggio

Ik had geen hoge verwachtingen toen ik deze lens kocht, maar ik ben blij verrast. Ik ben bijzonder tevreden over deze aankoop. De lens is makkelijk te bedienen en draait soepel. Een goede aankoop, ben er blij mee

Hab mir eine Canon eos 2000d gekauft das objektiv was da bei war war mir zu klein. Deswegen hab ich nach einem objektiv geschaut was nicht so teuer ist, ist ja nur für Hobby fotografieren. Hab erst bissen gebraucht aber das Ergebnis mit dem objektiv ist der Hammer. Für einen Anfänger finde ich die Bilder echt klasse und sind nicht bearbeitet.
