Must be crazy buying a 2400mm lens

Sebzy

Yep going to be sticking this hunk of metal onto my Oly making it equivalent to a 2400mm f13.

I know it will have very limited uses and the IQ may be scruffy but it's one f&#k!ng huge toy.:D:D

Should cost me 150Euro shipped.

Sebzy

Oh forgot to say with the E3 it will be IS too.....

yikes! Thats pretty good for the price.
Impressive samples on the ebay page. Hope it works out well for you.

For the price, I guess it's worth taking the risk. I might buy one myself.

That's insane, what practical use will it be?

It looks to be very cheap for what it is. I thought those types of lens cost way into the four-figure range?

yea looked at getting one a year or two back and they were about 500. There seems to me some Hong Kong company now supplying them for nearly nothing still unsure of their name.

The one I posted would cost you
EUR 173.38 - for scope
EUR 48 for shipping from HK
So if you to buy that one you looking at 220 delivered

I've done a bit or research and by buying a re branded model and a better quality T-ring magnified adapter from the UK I will have it for about 150.

Will post links in a bit to the re branded one.

mind you, customs may be looking and you'll pay 21% of 220 (some 45 euro)

Ok just won the auction and it came to 135 for the scope and 15Euro for delivery from Germany. and about 25 for the T-Ring adapter.

I'd love to see a review on these lenses. I considered buying one a couple of years ago, but didn't bother because I thought it wouldn't be much good for sports or nature photography. I would imagine a lens with such a small aperture will have limited uses
