JINTUF Mount Lens - 420-800mm f8.3 Manual Telephoto Lens for Nikon D90 D5600 D5100 D5200 D5300 D5500 D5400 D7200 D7100 D7500 D3100 D3200 D3400 D810 D750 D850 D600

This is 100% manual lense: the camera mode must be selected as Manual and everything is going to be controlled by the photographer. However, the pictures you might get is what makes this lens so useful for telephotos!

I took up amateur birding this year, wasn't quite sure where to start and still figuring things out. I already had a Nikon D5500 DSLR, so figured I'd just start with a lower cost lens that had a higher zoom range. To be transparent, I didn't compare quality or features with any other lenses, I was simply looking for a better zoom lens than my 8mm-50mm at a low entry price that would help me actually identify birds in the wild.I'm about 2 weeks in, and this has served the exact purpose I'd hoped. I'm getting better in manual mode (no auto focus, no aperture mode, etc) but my pictures are getting better, too. I've attached 2 pictures, both Red-bellied Woodpeckers...the first shows the very first time I used the lens (about 10 days ago?) and the second was just today.I'm getting better at identifying birds, which was my main focus. 5* for being a perfect fit for my need.

I purchased this for wildlife photography. As it came one day after I ordered it from Amazon (thanks Amazon Prime), I took outside tonight to try and shoot the moon. I shoot on a Nikon D3400 and have used my manual settings before. The key to ensuring a sharp image is produced is to use a sturdy tripod, a remote, as well as using the digital zoom through your viewfinder to ensure it is as sharp as possible before hitting the remote button. It's an awesome lens for the money!.

it's cheap but not professional good for me

I saw one review that said it was compatible with the Nikon D3500. Unless there's a style that's older/newer or something; this does not work with that camera. My Nikon D3500 has sensors on the camera that match up to the sensors on the lens and this lens does not have those sensors. The person that said it worked with theirs said they had to reattach multiple times and it finally recognized it. For one thing, I have no interest in having to do this type of thing. Most likely, I'd throw the thing in frustration if this had to be done every time! Like I said, no sensors. I can't even imagine how they got it to work. It looks like a great lens otherwise. I rated east to use and value for money 4 stars but just not for my camera model. :-(
