Takes time to get used to manual settings but this is a really good item especially for the price. In fact it is a way of getting away from the lazy auto settings I would normally choose and makes me more of the photographer I was 30 years ago.
This the lens I would recommend to all for taking photos of swan’s , planes and the moon the lens is so powerful it let’s you have more fun taking photos thank you your the bes
This appears to be well made but can only be used in manual mode, which for a novice and amateur isn’t ideal but once you get to grips it works very well
For the money it’s a great bit of kit you won’t win any photography awards but for an amateur photographer on a small budget it’s fantastic
Well built and does it’s job. Amazing value and excellent customer service experience .
There was the wrong camera adapter in the box, I emailed them and within three days I had the replacement.
The supplied allen key was needed to set the t-mount in line with the rest of lens.
Should be good to use in well lit scenes. ISO settings may need tweeking a bit.
EDIT
Just added an FT1 adaptor and can now use the lens on a Nikon 1 Camera.
This lens is just great, So powerful. No auto focus, but that is fine. Just use a tripod and get some amazing pictures. Very good value for money. And the customer care is 1st class.
Bought this for night photography and stunning views of moon. Focusing is a bit tricky in the night sky but with practice got good moon shots. Tried for bright daylight and surprised at results. Need to be happy to work in manual settings but for price have had some excellent results. Used on Nikon d7100 set for manual.
This isn’t up there with the big hitters. But,for the price, it’s excellent.
I have used many lenses over the years, some good quality and some not. Never used JINTU products before purchasing this one. Its good quality, very well built and comes with trouble shooting tips to help the set up. I think now i will only buy JINTU products in the future. Buy one now before the prices of lenses go up.
Absolutely brilliant. Just what I wanted for my wildlife photography
At first I was very unsure of buy this lens but so glad I did. Well worth the money and great lens for the price.
Don’t let other brands put you of try other brands and give them a chance
Thank you Jintu for saving me alot of money.
Reasonably priced manual zoom lens ideal for practise. Good sharpness for money
Great price good quality photos just need a bit of experience using manual mode to set shutter speed, etc and definitely need a remote as otherwise camera shake affects photo.
The lens was dispatched and arrived very quickly. Being a manual lens for focus and exposure takes some getting used to, but I am really pleased with the resulting pictures. Definitely recommend.
Arrived very early, extremely well packed, looking forward to the end of the month so I can open it, as it is a birthday present. Will Change or alter review then.
Returned it as it wasn’t for me. But if you want a real budget lens for distance stuff this is pretty good given the price. Just remember it needs decent light and it’s auto focus so fast moving animals ets will be difficult.
Unless you wish to play around with serious cropping in and then resizing and polishing off your images, this alternative is not to be sniggered at. For the money it is worth a try. I have only done a few test shots and there appeared to be vignetting at the long end, but the lens is being used on a full frame body and the lighting conditions were appaling.
Some complain about the focus, which is ridiculous as the lens is totally manual with essentially a fixed aperture. Your camera and you must be able to work in MANUAL for this to be of any use to you. Ensure you get the correct model for you camera, so you get the correct T mount to your body. Others have compalined when the t mount is on it does not have a lens cap cover at the back end. Use the one of the lens that is attached to your body !!
I paid 102. It is solidly constructed in metal not plastic. Attaches wonderfully to my D780 body and feel confident to hold the lens rather than the body when walking about. To say I am pleasantly surprised would be a gross understatement. Just remember you are spending 100 not 20,000, but this is not to say, from the few shots I have taken it is cheap, far from it. It is a bargain for what it delivers and I am more than satisfied. Seriously recommended.
Well, it is a cheap lens so it will off course not be comparable with more upscale precise lenses from other makers such as Sigma or Nikon.
But for the money, I believe it is good.
Whilst the lack of autofocus is a pain, it can produce crisp images when focused correctly. To use the lens effectively, I’d strongly advise a tripod and remote shutter to reduce motion.
It can also be used for deep sky astrophotography, provided you have a star tracker and stable tripod, as shown by the attached image.
Although not expecting much, for less than 100.00 Gbp, I was pleasantly suprised.
The lenses are acceptable. The quality of the construction far exceeds my expectaions.
Although not to a professional standard, I am able to photograph far distant objects with ease.
Yes, you have to focus manually (don’t expect auto focus in this price range.
Photos are perfectly acceptable (unless you are wanting to sell them).
The balance point (tripod fitting) is not horizontally adjustable, but the balance seems right, to me.
Please dont expect Bentley quality, at Skoda prices, and you won’t be dissapointed.
I am very happy with this telephoto lens.
Picture quality is excellent. As I said bought as a present and my father loves it not put it down since Saturday
If buying be aware that although it fits a number of Nikon models the ability to focus is not consistent, eg the focus is much softer on a D90 than on a D7100.
Solid Alloy body is great but HEAVY! You will need not only a tripod but a remote shutter release to minimise vibration.
Seriously the best hundred quid I have spent in ages.
Image Nikon D5100 with lens at full zoom. ISO 200. 1/100s f(God knows) 50% crop.
Fantastic product, Great pictures and works exactly as described. The only slightly disappointing thing Is the pouch to keep the lens in but for the price I’m a very happy person 🙂
I bought this for my son’s 21st birthday he is also an Astrophysicist. So far so good a bit early to say ye
might get the 2xadapter and knock it up to a 1600mm
It took a while to arrive but now it has I can honestly say, It’s Fantastic, I’ve not had much chance to try it out fully but am very impressed with the build quality, so much that in February I will be re ordering another one 😉
Many thanks to Jintu98 for sorting the delivery & any issues out, in a Professional manner 😉
Excellent delivery. Well packaged. Fits my Nikon D5000 perfectly. Manual focus but I can live with that easily. Cannot wait to get snapping.
