Hi!
I was looking for a long tele, I got this one, expecting it in few days.
I fear the transportation cost to be as high as the price!
Has one of you own/used one of this?
Interested in your opinion.

Sounds like it will be a bit of a bazooka! Interested to see samples and pics of the lens when you get it Smile

I used to have the Tokina-branded version some 20 or 25 years ago. It was a two-parts f/8 design, T-mount long focus lens.
Simple design but good quality and quite decent performer; a sturdy tripod is a must for proper use, one also needs a clear day and some interesting long-distance subjects...

I will dedicate it to animals during moutain trekking. Weight may be an issue!
