But after a few shots, and also trying to steady my hands, it wasn't really what i was expecting it to be. <br /> <br />I agree with the reviewer before me. "The more powerful the zoom the darker it gets." I'm wondering if I wasted my money on a product that isn't really very helpful to me. <br /> <br />It does have its good points though, It takes very clear pictures of written items. Like very very far away written items. For example, a street sign. But your hands have to be very steady. And that's a little hard to do when you just want to keep taking photo after photo. <br /> <br />Other than that, it was really a waste. It's hard to make it to do your bidding.

If you want something fun to get a little closer this will do the trick. If you want your work to be a little more professional, keep saving and spend some dough. <br /> <br />This lens has strong vignettes even on maximum zoom. The chromatic aberrations near the edges are not bad bad but they're noticeable. <br /> <br />Relating to telephoto lenses and teleadaptors/teleconverters in general, be mindful, you will have to hold the camera much steadier and of course the more powerful the zoom the darker it gets.

I'm having a difficult time trying to contact the manufacturer to find out if I need an adapter. Any help is greatly appreciated.
