Just ordered one. 500 mm prime with a 2x tele converter. Wondered if anyone uses them and what you thought? I borrowed one to play with but didn't use the TC. It's all manual but I think you might already be familiar with shooting manual with your astro work. It's tough to use on the fly in changing conditions and you will need to use a tripod. (it's light enough to hand hold but if you want a sharp image you'll need a tripod) I only played with it for a little while so I can't really say how good the image quality can be with this type of lens. I did get some good shots of stationary objects but never really field tested it on wildlife. Back then I was asking the same question as you but didn't get much info, that being said maybe you will be able to shed some light on it once you start using it. |
