Has anyone out there own or have any experience with TOYO 500mm f/8, ROKINON 650-1,300mm lenses or the BOWER 500mm f/8 lenses mounted on Canon T3i camera? I have read some conflicting info but I am intrigued because of their relatively low prices compared with CANON lenses.
Have a look at Sigma telephoto lenses, they are not the cheapest but also not the most expensive and you will have a quality lens that will give you good results. ;-)

Not tried those but if it is any use to you I was looking for a 70-300mm, could not justify the cost of a Canon L lens. In the end I bought a Tamron 70-300, it came out slightly better in the tests than the equivalent Canon one (non L) and significantly cheaper. I am getting very good results with it too.

WOW Bret! Love the hawk with cheap lens! I'm just learning how to get a clean shot with my 'expensive' canon stuff, I just might save some money and play with the cheap stuff. Looks like a fine shot to me!

[quote=Bret]Yes like MT said...they are not of a very high quality...more like fun toys to play with....learn with. I have the Bower 500mm F8 lens...and it takes allot of work to get some reasonable shots as it is an all manual lens....if you like I can post a shot or 2...and see for yourself what can be done
Nice pic .... I understand your comment

Shooting with these long lens's requires some very specialized Technic's...and takes some work at getting it all to come together in a shot...stabilizing the thing...handheld...tripod...vr...ranging and distance and on it goes. I got this lens just for that purpose...learn... practice with...so when I do get some really good quality lens I'll be all set.

This kookaburra was shot with my 2000mm f5 and stability, aiming, focusing was a challenge.
