A big improvement on the f8.0 version with the (slightly) faster ratio of 6.3. All manual focussing of course and you really need a tripod to get the best out of it, very difficult to hold steady at this sort of magnification unless you have some kind of image stabilisation built into your camera. These shortcomings are well worth it when you look at what a conventional 500mm lens would cost.
Should fit most DSLR cameras but you will need a T2 adapter of course.
