JINTU Telephoto Lens EF Lens for Canon, 420-800mm f/8.3 Manual Zoom Lens for Canon EOS T7i T6 T6i T6s T7 T8i T3i, T4i, T5, T5i, SL2, SL1 4000D 2000D 80D 90D 5D III 6D 7D II 60D 70D SLR Camera Lenses

A great and inexpensive solution for my old Sony a230 camera. I used * JINTU 420–800mm manual lens * Fotodiox T/T2 → Sony Alpha A-mount adapter * Sony α230 * a sturdy tripod To take great close up shots from 100 yards away or still life. No autofocus so please understand what you are getting. For my amateur purposes it was $50 well spent.

I'm really enjoying this lens. It's light enough to lug around but not worry it's going to break. I have to use it on a tripod because of shake, and by setting a timer I can prevent the movement from the trigger blurring my shots. I'm not a professional so it is perfect for my use. My young kids love to use it and I don't worry about breaking it, for this price I can always get another.

Works as advertised on my Canon Rebel (T3). Good value. Word of warning- do NOT expect this to be easy to use. This is not a knock against the lens; the construction and optical lenses are good. But the reason it is so inexpensive is because there are no motors or electronic connections to the camera. Everything is adjusted by hand. There is no data about what the settings are sent to the camera. Focus and aperture are set manually. Tripod or bracing highly recommended, if not mandatory.

Rookie photographer. Great starter lense for a hobby. It is heavy so I also purchased a tripod. My T6i does not register the lense so it does not auto focus

I got this to up my game for the 2024 eclipse. I didn't have much money to throw at it though, so this is what I ended up with. I used a solar filter to shoot the sun and the result was decent even if the process was maddening. Playing around shooting buildings, you can see that the results look ok, though not crazy sharp or anything. However, considering how far away the buildingtop I shot was (see the photo I took with my phone with the helpful arrow pointed at what I shot with the lens) it's pretty amazing for under $100 bucks! Back to shooting the sun: It's pretty hard to actually focus this thing in general. You need a really solid tripod and I was working with a $25 cheapo one so the camera wasn't super steady and lining up the shot was really hard to do. But when what you are trying to focus on is the sun itself it's even harder. Auto focus would be amazing for this task, but us poors will have to do with trying to focus it manually. It's not impossible, but it did take me about a dozen tries before I got the ISO and shutter speed and focus to all line up proper and the result is a pretty decent photo of some rather large sun spots which is pretty cool! It should go without saying, but just in case: DO NOT SHOOT THE SUN WITHOUT A FILTER!!! Is it worth the money? Sure! Just don't expect it to be super clear, professional level quality, or all that easy to use. But this exceeded my expectations of what I could get for less than a hundred bucks.
