Quantaray - 600-1000mm Zoom Lens (T-mt.)

Summary: Requires Knowledge and A Steady Hand
Review: I'm sure you're interested in this lens for the same reason I was: price. Well, you get what you pay for! Don't misunderstand, this is a very good lens, but it is a manual operation lens. You won't be able to use your camera's automatic exposure/ISO/shutter speed features.

You'll have to set your camera on Manual and use an exposure meter (or in my case, guess a lot and keep shooting). While the lens isn't terribly heavy, when it is attached to your camera, the weight distribution is a bit awkward. You'll need a rock steady tripod. You can shoot hand-held, but unless you have nerves of steel and/or a ton of light, your results may be blurry.

So: if you're an experienced photographer and know what you're doing, this lens is a good bargain.
