Just took delivery of a 420-800mm f4.5-f16 zoom lens for my Nikon.
Chinese made and less than £100 we are not talking pro-quality, but the 'nothing but 5* reviews' on Amazon made me think it worth a try.
Heading out to the local bird hide later to try it out.

@Airborne_Frog @AndersonArtwork I'd appreciate your point of view regarding image quality. Never used such a large zoom before (will be using a monopod) so not expecting awesome compositions yet!
@AndersonArtwork @Airborne_Frog @Mandypar
This is it. Pretty solid construction.
I love the 'professional HD'.
I mean, it's glass!
@stueytheround @Mandypar @Airborne_Frog
Not familiar with that manufacturer. What they coat the lens elements with can be a HUGE thing at those focal lengths. So can Chromatic and Spherical Aberations
Certainly not expecting awesome results but I have always wanted to try wildlife photography and it helps being a bit further away.
Rain started earlier so will be trying tomorrow now!
@AndersonArtwork This is my first non Nikkor lens but since I don't have a spare £4k lying about... 😂
@stueytheround @Mandypar @Airborne_Frog
I understand completely. If you want to keep your wallet skinny....get into photography!
@Mandypar @Airborne_Frog @stueytheround
Absolutely! Cant wait to see what you do with it
