Rokinon 650-1300mm f/8-16 Manual Focus Telephoto Zoom Lens

Description

Full Frame FormatThis Rokinon 650-1300mm ultra-telephoto zoom lens is incredibly powerful. With its tremendous power, this lens is ideally suited for wildlife and sports photography. Its high definition optics produce sharper, more intense pictures. Take incredibly close shots from long range distances. This lens comes complete with the lens, lens case, lens caps and a 1 year Rokinon warranty.

There are T-mounts available for every modern DSLR system as well as for most older film cameras and even C-mount cameras.

It will work on both "full frame" digital cameras as well as the smaller-format APS-C (15 x 22mm) cameras, but has only one effective aperture at any focal length, which varies from f/8.0 at 650mm to f/16.0 at 1300mm. That's not much of a hindrance, however, as you'd likely use this lens at its relatively small maximum aperture in any case.


Features

This lens requires bright light and a high ISO setting on the camera to get a fast shutter speed (or fast film in a film camera), and needs a sturdy tripod or monopod, but can deliver very sharp results if used properly.

• Incredible zoom range
• Multi-coated elements reduce flare and increase light transmission
• White barrel helps reduce heat buildup
• Aperture is fixed-position, but only varies based on focal length
• Deep lens shade with matted, dark internal coloring
• Tripod mount upon lens barrel

Item Includes

• Rokinon 650-1300mm Super Telephoto Zoom Lens
• Front & Rear Lens Caps
• Lens Hood
• Lens Case
• 1-Year Warranty

Fun lens, but not the best quality, September 8, 2008

By Warren Liick (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada)

A fun lens for the price. It takes a very steady tripod to shoot with this focal length as the smallest vibration becomes a large shake at the end of the lens. I cant see it getting much use in my lens arsenal, but if you need to zoom way, way out, it can read license plates from many blocks away. Dont buy it as your only telephoto, but if you know that you are getting what you pay for, its not a bad lens.
