The lens is absolutely what i expexted it to be, it need good light, a desent tripod, and a remote control for your camera isn't a bad idea. I have not tried it with the 2x converter it was shipped with, instead i tried it out with an 3x converter, and i am really amazed what you get for the money, have in mind what this lens costs, compared with branded lenses from other fabricants, of course the result is not even close to be compared, but still it's absolutely a bargain for us normal deadly ones to try out extreme lenses without robbing a bank....

Cheap for the range it provides. You will def need a monopod or tripod to use this rather long lens. Major drawback is the mechanism to increase zoom. It does not utilise a rotary dial but rather you unlock the lens, draw out the lens to increase focal length and then relock it. Otherwise clear images obtained thus far after 2 weeks of use.

I've been reading mixed reviews on the Opteks lens for a while, for the price I thought I take a chance. It performs as expected. The zoom mechanism is a tube near the camera that slides, it's not smooth and a little clunky to do, but it works. I don't use the double much, don't really need it, and it does not fit in the bag with it attached to the lens (I think this is a flaw and the bag should have been larger) and there is no separate bag for the doubler - rather then take the chance of dust getting in the lens from screwing and unscrewing the adapter from the lens then attaching the doubler and screwing back on the adapter to the doubler, I just don't use it much. You have to take your time on focusing as it is very sensitive. You are able to handhold it at 650mm (just bearly) but at any other zoom level you must have a good tripod to hold it. This lens is HUGE. I would recommend this lens for nature or senic photography, but it's not fast enough (f8-f16) to use if for any movement and it would be hard to focus on anything moving rapidly.
