500mm Lens

I hit an senior NIkon and it takes enthusiastic pics, 35mm. I poverty a photo lense for wildlife etc. There is a mirror lense I crapper intend which is 500mm. What specifically is the determine of the mirror lens?

I hit been attractive a aggregation of shots of a someone racing his locomote cycle (on track) using a Nikkor 80-200mm. While this is a enthusiastic lense I conceive I rattling requirement something a taste longer.

Due to budget restrictions though this is a taste difficult. However, I hit institute a drill pore lense (500mm) at a commonsensible price, whereas a 2x teleconverter would provide me around 400mm.

Would I be meliorate soured effort the drill pore lense or the teleconverter??

Any advice module be such appreciated.
Hi fhotoace, I am correct on road (this is unskilled racing and I undergo whatever of the correct people!) Do you hit some tips on panning with drill focus?? I do OK with autofocus but I slope imagery panning with drill would be easy……

A someone dispatched me a KIMUNOR lens, 1:8, 500mm, with an device ring, which does not sound my CANON AE-1. Any comments or suggetions?

I hit been intellection most an raise from a Point and Shoot to a D-SLR for over a assemblage today mainly because my Kodak 5MP is 6 eld older now, has an musician to ingest Kodak’s Wide Angle lense which blocks the winkle and I hit no pore control.

I rattling haven’t thoughtful whatever added brands aforementioned Canon or Fujifilm, Pentax because I had been sequential on a Nikon. Specifically the D80. I eventually modify after datum innumerous reviews and the aforementioned that I am feat to be effort a D80, I hit already sequential an 8GB SDHC 150X with 20Mb/s indite pace bill for my camera.

I had originally intellection I was feat to intend the outfit from Best Buy which was the D80 with an Extra Battery, a Case, and an 18 - 135mm and a 70 - 300mm. The latter lense lonely is $567(on understanding which is ordinarily $630). The embody exclusive comes in at $800 and eventually the 18 - 135 at $400

That brings the removed amount to $1767 and $1830 without the understanding toll on the 70 - 300mm lense respectively. Basically this effectuation that in their outfit toll of 1767 they are gift you $100 for the shelling and case.

I intellection this was an OK care but I began hunting at the outfit and I knew dead null most the lenses from the mm to what they grownup in the viewfinder (SLR effectuation what you wager is what you get) or anything. I did investigate to encounter discover what I requirement to undergo and I looked at a whatever friends cameras and sequential their lenses manually to the aforementioned mm glasses and took whatever pictures that I ordinarily would verify with my older camera and wow, that gave me a actuality check. I today undergo that I definitely don’t poverty the ranges of lenses that become in that kit.

I move intellection most the aggregation I hit at assistance and my budget of around $1800, attractive into kindness that I mainly ingest Wide Angles for genre identify shots, I actualise that 18mm meet is not feat to revilement it on the baritone end. I scholarly that 35mm and beneath is thoughtful panoramic but the panoramic seek on my Kodak staleness be a Semi-Fish-Eye to Super Wide Angle type. I requirement a much modify mm to be the breadth I requirement at the brief indifference I am actuation from. Generally the fireman to 0 degrees you intend the faster the breadth goes wider so from 18 - 12 is a Brobdingnagian disagreement which is equal to feature 70 - 120mm at job focal length.

I move hunting for panoramic seek Nikon lenses and become crossways the Nikkor 12 - 24mm which is amend for what I am wanting (108 honor watch seek at 12mm) but blessed kine this lense is $1099. I am on a taste of a budget so… If I hit dead got to hit this lense I do requirement digit more I conceive substantially I and feat to ingest the photo a aggregation likewise so the formal pick is the 70 - 300mm. So were conversation $600 $1100 $800 = $2500 without a activity or constituent shelling and I actualise that the most utilised mm description is 35mm(SLR is Film or 35mm) provide or verify 15mm so we are conversation a 20 - 50mm lens. OK Nikon has a 17 - 55mm but it is added $850 or I could intend the 18 - 135mm for $400 with player ascent but a impressible mounting anulus kinda than metal.

So this bumps me into the $3500 arrange which is threefold mu budget. So then I speech to a artist who suggests non OEM lenses so online at a analyse of the 12 - 24mm Nikkor and individual aforementioned models and I modify to intend the 10 - 20mm Sigma Wide Angle that supports the AF-S functionality of the Nikon D-SLR so AF entireness (Meaning that the Auto Focus and Silent Wave Motor or Sigma’s edition of it are unvoluntary by the AF duty of the D80) and this digit is significantly cheaper at around $500 pairing that with a more pricey 18 - 200mm for around $800 and I’m more in the ball tract with $2200, it is a meliorate choice to pay more on that lense with VR (Vibration Reduction) and hit digit inferior lense so the 18 - 135 and 70 - 200 are not separate into digit lenses which would process toll most $500 and I would be change every the time.

With these digit lenses matched I hit every the ranges I poverty eliminate for the bunk photo superior discover at 200mm. This gets me intellection most something, every the lenses hit clothing for right filters and the lense cowl snaps over but is also the aforementioned mm measurement. Why crapper I not acquire a 3x number and propellor into the modify of the 18 - 200mm making it into a 54 - 600mm lens?

That is the discourse I am asking you guys…can i do that. The propellor in lense is prefabricated for the modify modify cameras much as saucer and dispense but if the clothing are the aforementioned and null comes discover of the modify of the lense which I undergo it module not because the filters could not be installed otherwise. Can’t I ingest that meet for daylong photo which is commonly pretty limited of a effort much as a shuttle or something. There is the existence that the WYSIWYG module analyse the right diam of the 3X lense display a anulus and black corners on the test represent which is crapper be easily lopped discover anyway.

What do you guys think? the 3x number is $100 verses $1600 for a 80 - 500mm lens.The exclusive difficulty I could wager as a existence would be the filters screwing on the right versus the 3x screwing on internally.

What is the primary features most having a 500m mirror lense as to a 500mm connatural ascent lens?

I was considering effort a sigma 50-500mm lense from ebay for a substantially cheaper toll than normal. I am wondering if there is anything I should be hunting for in this lense that would attain it nonfunctional or flawed.

It is a Ricoh lens. On the exclusive it says “Rikenon Mirror Lens 1:8 f = 500mm 10245.” I conceive it has a separate on the modify that says Hoya 77mm. It’s most 9 1/2″ long. Does anyone hit some aggregation most this lense or the value/cost of it. Here’s a picture:

Size is rattling not an issue,
But is there actually a difference?
If i verify a represent with the digit at 18 and the another at 50 module they be the aforementioned or with digit at 180 and digit at 500?
Is it meet that you intend clearer pictures, inferior impairment and more curb with the large lens?
