Customer Reviews

Very decent for the money
I just received my new lens the other day and couldn't wait to try it out. Though my 2x converter was on back order I still couldn't wait to try it out on my Sony A100. Well just so happens last night was a full moon. The lens worked great and the resolution is pretty impressive...though one small problem...I discovered two tripods will need to be used next time cause even with the wireless remote there was too much shake...with my camera hanging on out in the middle of no where teetor totering from the attached lens it was so unstable that when I pressed the remote to fire the camera, the shutter made the whole thing bounce. So please note if you don't have a second tripod then you most likely should buy another when purchasing this VERY LONG lens. Good thing is I don't have to worry about being mugged while using the Phoenix cause all I have to do is beat the mugger with the lens.

Shooting is believing
I have to say... I took my new lens outside tonight for the first time, with, as the previous reviewer had, a full moon. I couldn't find my tripod anywhere, so I rested the tripod mount of the lens on a fence and handled the rest the old-fashioned way. I focused manually (not used to doing THAT anymore!) and snapped two frames. Back inside, I downloaded the memory card onto my laptop and voila! Darn good shot of a VERY big moon. Not as sharp as the Corrie Everhart photo that was uploaded to the product page, but considering I was sitting on my own heels with no tripod and no remote shutter button, I thought is was pretty decent. I actually had to remove the 2x convertor and shoot without it, because with it I was still too close to the moon! Go figure! So far, so good. This is gonna be buckets of fun!
