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!

@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!
