Camera Security » Blog Archive » Opteka Quickshot Pro

Quick mount does what it's suppose do. I can carry my Canon 50d on my hip and it goes on and off very easily. The item is made of plastic, but seems pretty strong and I've tried to tug,jump and shake it loose and it's pretty sturdy. Of course I would prefer it to be metal, but I feel comfortable about using it. Also comes with a quick disconnect safety tether for extra protection. The Opteka QuickShot PRO is a strapless camera belt holster system that allows for full body movement while keeping your...

Has anybody bought a cheap telephoto lense? An opteka 650-1300mm or 650-2600 lense is the one I have in mind.?

They are very cheap and have awful reviews on the various websites but I am unlikely ever to find enough money to buy a good one.Has anybody had any experience with one of these or similar?With patience and practice what sort of results could I expect?

With those sort of telephoto lenses, you may use them once, and that is it. Because they are so big, cumbersome, crappy, and slow, you will find little to no use of them. With just the largeness of them, you'll find it an annoyance to shoot with them.

cheap = awful.

Usually in telephoto lenses, it would means a lot of vignetting, and the lens would be very slow.

Cheap is cheap. As long as your expectations are low enough either of these lenses should meet them.

Perhaps a better idea would be to save your money until you can afford a lens of better quality.

Remember, you get what you pay for. You will probably end up replacing your cheap lens after a few years of use, sooner if you use it for more than just you yearly vacation plus the odd special occasion.

The Opteka Ninja 0.2(which is smaller) or The Opteka Baby death 0.3(which is bigger).
My Camera is Jvc Everio gz hm 300. The lens is 37mm. Please help.

What does a 55-72 mm adapter mean, please help!?

Okay so I'm new so this photography thing.
I have a Canon EOS 50D.
I recently bought a fisheye > http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-0-20X-Profe ssional-Fisheye-Digital/dp/B001K5R38Q
And when I got it, it didn't.

---

it means your first lens (the one attached to your camera), with a diameter of 55mm, "steps-up" to a 72mm attachment lens.

---

Hondo

So you purchased a professional level camera and have not even taken the time to read a book about DSLR photography that covers this? Why would you even put that piece of junk lens on a 50D anyway? The photos will be horrible.

---

Stephanie Jenkins

The one that fits the filter thread on the lens you have on the body. I really don't think you can go from 52mm up to 72mm. You have to buy a screw on fisheye that is 72mm.
