For 170-500mm f5.6-6.3 APO in SLR & MFT (micro four thirds) Lenses

Pros
  • Pin sharp images, lens not too heavy.
Cons
  • Lens tends to stretch under gravity to full length when being carried attached to camera.
Used in conjunction with the digital Canon EOS 300d this now gives me a zoom lens ranging up to 800mm (all images magnified x1.6 when used with 300d) and with a minimum focusing distance of 3.2 metres! Excellent optical clarity, good lens hood but needs a (protective) UV filter of 86mm to cover the front element which stuck another 50 on the cost - living on bread and water for the next six months.
