Product Description

A Opteka High Definition 500mm preset telephoto lens is great for nature and sports photography.

This puts more creative control where it belongs, in your hands. Lens Construction: 7 elements in 5 groups, Angle of View: 5°, Minimum Focus Distance: 33 ft.

Customer Reviews

Not bad for the price
You get what you pay for. For $70 I think it is very cheap. The bad thing is picture quality is not of professional quality and you can not take pictures at night or in low lit areas. But again for $70 it is reasonable.

Good lens for the price
This lens is awesome, best for taking close up picture of wild life and you must use tripod during daylight.

What do you expect for $79.95
This lens has serious purple and green fringe problems under contrasty situations, it is difficult to focus due to the minimum f/8 aperture, the images are soft and all of this gets worse when fitted with the 2X tele extender. However, the Opteka 500 can provide some reasonable results under optimum conditions. The lens barrel and tripod collar are well made and the lens has a nice weight without being heavy. While it is not a professional lens by any stretch it is a pretty good deal for $79.95.
I doubt that I will keep this lens for long because I need more quality than this lens can deliver for my work, but then I was not expecting it to.
