Opteka 500mm/1000mm f/8 Manual Telephoto Lens Review

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Opteka 500mm/1000mm f/8 Manual Telephoto Lens for Nikon FX full frame and DX APS C cameras. After spending some time with it, I can confidently say that this lens is a great choice for those looking for an affordable telephoto lens.

The optics of this lens are impressive, with a super multi layer coating applied to the lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting. This contributes to producing contrast rich and color neutral imagery, making it perfect for those who like shooting nature or outdoor photography. Additionally, manual focusing is also easy with this lens, thanks to the adjustable f stop ring which has an index for distance and diaphragm scale inscribed on the barrel.

In terms of construction, the full metal body and rear T mount allows the Opteka 500mm/1000mm f/8 Manual Telephoto Lens to withstand wear and tear much better than plastic lenses while commanding a rugged, solid feel when using. Moreover, there is also a built in rotating tripod collar which offers well balanced support for photographing atop a tripod or monopod with either vertical or horizontal shooting orientations.

Overall, I am very impressed by this lens and would definitely recommend it to any photographer who is looking for a reliable telephoto lens without breaking their bank. The Opteka 500mm/1000mm f/8 Manual Telephoto Lens is perfect for capturing distant subjects such as landscapes and wildlife photography. It is also compatible with all Nikon FX full frame and DX APS C cameras including D6, D5, D4, D3, D2, D1, D7500, D7200, D7100, D7000 etc., so no matter what camera you have you will be able to use this lens without any problems. Furthermore, it comes at an affordable price point compared to other telephoto lenses on the market so you won t have to worry about spending too much money on a quality product.

All in all I highly recommend the Opteka 500mm/1000mm f/8 Manual Telephoto Lens if you are looking for an affordable yet reliable telephoto lens that won t break your bank but still deliver great results!
