Description of πŸ“· Opteka 500mm f/6.3 (2X- 1000mm) Telephoto Mirror Lens for Sony Alpha A99V, A99, A77, A68, A65, A58, A57, A55, A37, A35, A33, A900, A700, A580, A560, A390, A380, A290 A-Mount DSLR Cameras

ADVANCED OPTICS: Featuring an optimized design, this lens uses mirrors and a series of 7 optical glass elements in 6 groups to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations. A anti-reflective coating suppresses lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity. SUPER ZOOM: Manual focus 500mm or 1000mm with the 2x converter, this lens is not only a superb long range choice, but also performs well in a variety of scenes from sports and surveillance to everyday shooting. SOLID CONSTRUCTION: Full metal body and rear mount allow this lens to withstand wear and tear much better than plastic lenses while commanding a rugged, solid feel when using. COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT: Mirrors allows this lens to be much shorter than it would need to be without the mirrors. At 4.7-inches long, this 500mm f/6.3 is one of the shortest telephoto lenses currently available. COMPATIBILITY: Can be used on all Sony A-Mount APS-C and full frame cameras including A99V, A99, A77, A68, A65, A58, A57, A55, A37, A35, A33, A900, A700, A580, A560, A550, A390, A380, A330, A290 and other A-Mount Digital Cameras.

Makes everything really closer

Light weight, pretty good optics and a GREAT BARGAIN, especially since it has a T-bracket and a 2x extension (1000mm, equals 1500mm in APSC). It's a fixed f/8 aperture. Got some great shots of the moon/

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Some cons

Good lens as is

Good lens as is. It's a non-zoom, fixed-aperture SLR lens, so be aware of that. Images appear dull unless photographed in very bright conditions. This lens is quite heavy, so I recommend a tripod or at least a monopod if conditions allow.

Pros
  • Camera lenses
Cons
  • Negative impression

Brings everything really closer

Lightweight, pretty good optics and HUGE DISCOUNT especially since it has a T-mount and a 2X extension (1000mm, 1500mm equivalent in APSC). You may want to use an ND filter since it is a fixed aperture of F/8. Got some great shots of the moon/

Pros
  • COMPACT AND LIGHT: Thanks to the mirror, this lens is much shorter than it should be without the mirror. At 4.7 inches long, this 500mm f/6.3 is one of the shortest telephoto lenses currently available.
Cons
  • Some nuances
