  • Key Specs
    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Canon EF
    • Lens Type: Telephoto Prime
    • Minimum Focal Length: 500 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
    • Maximum Focal Length: 500 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
    • Maximum Aperture: f/4 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

Q: What is it included in the pakage ? Thanks

A: Comes with a large suit case to store the lens and keep safe. Lens came with strap to hold lens and attached is the Lbracket. A soft lens cover came with it and the hood. There is a clear lens filter in the lens but you would have to buy different drop filters if you wanted other ones.

Q: I currently own a Canon EOS Rebel XSi. Have a zoom lens EF 75-300mm. Would like to take more long-range photos (e.g. wildlife) of high quality. Can you suggest an appropriate lens?

A: Depends on what you want to do with the images when you say "high quality". IF all you want to do is post images to the web then I would suggest going with either the Tamron or Sigma 150 to 600mm lens. If you want good prints and have the budget for it, then the Canon 100-400mm lens. It is better to spend the money on a high quality lens than getting a better camera.

Q: Does the lens come with a lens hood? Any accessories?

A: Yes, it comes with a large hood, which I heard costs >$500 if bought alone. It also comes with a hood cover, a hard case like a carry-on, and a strap to be attached to the lens.
