Bower T-Mount 500mm F/8 Preset Telephoto SOLD

This is a fun manual lens . It has a T mount - but I have the T to Canon EOS adapter. So for all Canon EF cameras.
I bought this to play around with, but I never used it.

Here is what Adorama says about this lens:
Bower T-Mount 500mm F/8 Preset Telephoto Lens, Requires T-Mount
The Bower T-Mount 500mm F/8 Preset Telephoto Lens is a classic refractor-style T-mount lens, with an aperture diaphragm in the middle of the lens body to stop down the aperture when necessary. When combined with the T-mount to fit your camera system, this super telephoto lens works on both "35mm/Full Frame Sensors” as well as the "APS-C" style digital SLR cameras. T-Mounts are available for all the digital SLR systems. However, in every case the aperture is not communicated to the camera body. As such, you can use the lens in "M" manual exposure mode or "A" aperture-priority mode only. This lens' sophisticated achromatic refractor design yields images with pleasing peak contrast and well controlled flare. It can be used at f/8 maximum aperture on a very bright day for images of moving subjects. This T-Mount 500mm Preset Telephoto lens is offered in new condition only with free shipping!

I'm selling the lens, adapter, and a Rokinon 2X multiplier for $50

I bought same lens new a few years back , wanted to start birds shots .i would say that in good light , it does ok .At time , if you shoot white birds in bright light , you end up with purple edges on bird . In cloudy bright it does best .forget the X 2 adapter . also dont crop the pictures too much ,the quality goes down compared with a main brand lens .It is light , focus easily , fits any camera with the right adapter [ $ 5 ] .I did enjoy it for a couple of years , before moving on to more pricey stuff . Would buy it again .

Thanks for the info !!! Yes - it is definitely a "just for fun" type lens. But it is pretty fun. While I had it set up, we spied on some of the neighbors, ha ha
