This review is from: Opteka 650-2600mm High Definition Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon EOS 7D, 6D, 5D, 5Ds, 1Ds, 1Dx, 70D, 60D, 60Da, 50D, 40D, T6s, T6i, T5i, T5, T4i, T3i, T3 and SL1 Digital SLR Cameras (Camera)
I was reluctant to purchase this due to some reviews listed with the lens. I have been very pleased with the results I have gotten with this lens. I read a review that said you need possibly a tripod and mono-pod and that is what I also got. Using both I have gotten some awesome pictures of the moon. I have included a photo I took with this lens. It hasn’t been cropped or photo shopped. It was fully extended using the 2X converter. I would also recommend a mono pod with a tilting head as you will need it to help support your camera unless your tripod is extra heavy duty.

Use in bright daylight only. Grainy. At full extension (1300 before 2x) rear tube sags under camera body wieght. But what do you expect at this price point? To protect the camera side attach point you will have to buy a plastic EF-style cover separately. This is a fun lens, not a for-profit lens.

Pros: I was able to take a few good photos of the moon with my Canon 7D. Details on the moon are quite sharp using this lens. Not bad for $269.
Cons: The lens is quite heavy so using a tripod is a must. Some difficulty in focusing the subject but overall, I am glad I bought this lens.
