What it is- it’s basically a telescope lens for DSLR Cameras. It’s not a compatible lens. It works great for its purpose. Depending on your camera it can be a little tricky to get it setup right. It’s not exactly plug and play like an actual lens. What it’s not- This is not a camera lens like you would purchase from the camera manufacturer. Expecting that for a telescopic lens is unrealistic. The seller also includes some additional documentation which is awesome! Thanks! I purchased this because I wanted to get some pictures of aircraft and wildlife. Getting the ISO and shutter speed right can take a little time. Again, not a short coming of the product as it does what it is intended to do. Your experience will vary depending on what camera you use. I have a Mirrorless Alpha and a Mirror Rebel. It works as advertised and met expectations. If you are expecting it to perform like a lens costing thousands then this is not going to meet your expectations. Understand what you are buying and be prepared to have to work a little to get it to work with your camera. It’s worth it especially if you are looking for a budget option vs an expensive zoom lens. Would recommend and buy again! Review: One word to describe it: Rubbish. - This is completely a joke, no wonder the price. Who will find this “thing” useful? One of the worst items l had ever use…Don’t waste your time, you been warned. ## Features - High Power Telephoto Lens - Achieve superior image quality with our 500mm/1000mm f/8 manual telephoto lens for Canon DSLR in sleek black.

One of the worst items l had ever use…Don’t waste your time, you been warned. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good. *by C***N on October 31, 2021* So far so good. Going to test it out taking moon shots on a clear night. It's manual, so just need to put on a tripod and take time finding the right settings. But you get what you pay for and I will only be taking very few pictures, so no need to spend a ton on a telephoto lens with auto focus. ## Frequently Bought Together - High-Power 500mm/1000mm f/8 Manual Telephoto Lens for Sony Alpha A99, A77, A65, A58, A57, A55, A37, A35, A33, A900, A700, A580, A560, A550, A390, A380, A330 and A290 Digital SLR Cameras - Sony 55mm Front Lens Cap ALCF55S,Black - JJC 2-Pack Body Cap and Rear Lens Cover Kit for Sony Alpha A-Mount DSLR Cameras and A-Mount Lenses Such as A77II A77 A99II A99 A58 A57 A65 A55 A37 A35 A33 A900 A850 A700 A580 A560 A550 A500 & More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/21948444-high-power-500mm-1000mm-f-8-manual-telephoto-lens-sony](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/21948444-high-power-500mm-1000mm-f-8-manual-telephoto-lens-sony) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
