Brantuk Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Sorry Graham - don't know much about that one - ours is the 70x300 which is quite good for the price (circa £250-£300). I have one or two images in the "Non-astro" imaging section if you want something to compare. It's acceptable for us but a bit slower (and narrower I think) than the one you're looking at. The pics come out nice and sharp though. Sorry I can't be more technical.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 That's an older lens, so the technology will be dated and older lenses are more likely to contain faults. I've not personally used one so I can't comment on what it's like to use. What would you expect to be shooting with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfletcher Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Well I went out and bought the lens secondhand. I have taken a few shots with it and I am astonished just how good this lens is It is absolutely "tack sharp" For £70 I think I have an absolute bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Nice one Graham - so long as it cost no more than you wanted to pay, and you're delighted with the way it works - then it's a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
