  • ADVANCED OPTICS: Featuring an optimized design, this lens uses a series of 6 optical glass elements (one SD super-low dispersion) in 5 groups to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the aperture range. A high definition anti-reflective coating suppresses lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity.
  • SUPER ZOOM: 650-1300mm or 1300-2600mm with the 2x converter, this lens is not only a superb long range choice, but also performs well in a variety of scenes from sports and surveillance to lunar shots.
  • SOLID CONSTRUCTION: Full metal body and rear mount allow this lens to withstand wear and tear much better than plastic lenses while commanding a rugged, solid feel when using.
  • MANUAL FOCUSING: This lens has preset f-stops that correspond with the focal length at which you are shooting. An index for distance and diaphragm scale is inscribed on the lens barrel to coordinate focal length and aperture.
  • COMPATIBILITY: Can be used on all Nikon APS-C and full frame cameras including D7500, D7200, D7100, D5600, D5500, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3400, D3300, D3200, D3100. D3000, Df, D5, D4, D3, D850, D810, D800, D750, D700, D610, D500, D90, D60 and D40.

User questions & answers

Question: Is there a reason why I have a circular halo in the center of the image when shooting
Answer: New
Question: will this work with the new d7500? do I need special connector
Answer: The camera automatically geotags pictures *if* it had a valid GPS position at the time the picture was taken. This is an important distinction, because the TG-4 is a bit slow to acquire satellites, and can take several minutes to obtain a GPS lock. If you have had the camera turned off for more than an hour or two, expect a bit of a wait for GPSR the next time you turn it on. The good news is that it blinks the "GPS" indicator on the display screen until it acquires a position, so there's no question about whether or not any given picture is going to get a geotag.Also of interest, if you use it underwater, it will record the depth at which the picture was taken -- if you turn on the manometer in the settings. For reasons I don't understand, this feature is not enabled out of the box.
Question: Will this work on a kodak pixpro az
Answer: Can't flip the screen but can take selfies. Just use the Wi-Fi connectivity with your phone to view and take pictures through your camera.
Question: Will this lens work on a D5200? Thanks
Answer: I'm sure you could put your camera in for repair and the lense cover could be replaced. However, the thing to do is buy an Olympus CLA- TG conversion lens adapter for $19.95 and buy a Haze or Skylight filter 40.5mm to screw into it. Even a good filter is about &30. The filter will protect your camera and improve your pictures. Read up on the different filters you could use. At any rate this would be cheaper than camera repair. Hint - the adapter ring comes with a lens cover.
Question: Will it mount to a nikon ftz adapter (adapter to nikon z mount
Answer: The box has the camera, wrist strap, LI-92B lithium ion battery, USB-AC adapter, USB cable, and a CD with software.
Question: Is 1300 max focal length with 2x converter or without converter
Answer: Yes,it can.
Question: Is this lens Auto or Manual focus
Answer: Sorry, it can't.
Question: Will this work for Nikon d
Answer: No it can't.

Opteka 650-1300mm (with 2X- 1300-2600mm) f/8 Super Zoom Telephoto Lens

Advances in ultra high-index / low-dispersion optical glasses, new barrel materials, and exotic anti-reflection coatings, along with the latest in computer-aided-design / computer-aided-manufacturing, are combined to produce lenses of unprecedented quality. Diamond-cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, Opteka lenses are ground and polished to a precise precision. This puts more creative control where it belongs, in your hands.

Optics

The Opteka 650-1300mm f/8 Super Zoom Telephoto Lens uses a series of 4 optical glass elements in 4 groups to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations. A anti-reflective coating suppresses lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity.

Stability

Built-in tripod collar for improved lens balance and knurled focus ring to the front of the lens to improve grip in less than ideal weather. A protective lens pouch is also included.

Focus and Aperture

Highly visible focus and aperture settings are located at the center of the lens for easy access and adjustments.

Construction

An all metal yet lightweight body and rear mount allow this lens to withstand wear and tear much better than plastic lenses while commanding a rugged, solid feel when using indoor and outdoor.

Opteka 2.0x Telephoto Converter (Included)

The Opteka 2x Professional Multiplier is a high-quality teleconverter that delivers enhanced telephoto versatility. It multiplies the focal length by 2x, providing an affordable and portable way to extend your cameras reach. The specialized lens elements virtually eliminate color aberrations. The anti-reflection coating enhances light transmission efficiency, improves color consistency, and reduces flare.

T-Mount Adapter (Included)

The Opteka T-Mount allows you to mount a T-Mount lens to your camera body. The lens adapter is designed to fit securely to the lens, yet can still be removed easily when not needed. Although the lens will fit physically, autofocus, automatic diaphragm (AE metering), and other functions dependent on communication between camera body and lens will be disrupted by the lens adapter. You will need to focus manually, and to set exposures manually or meter in aperture priority (stop-down) mode.

Opteka Padded Lens Case with Strap (Included)

Protect your Opteka 650-1300mm lens against dust, dirt, and scratches by storing it in this Soft Padded Lens Case with a zippered closure. The case is included with the lens.

Aluminum Lens Hood (Included)

Stop stray light from entering your lens with the Opteka Aluminum Lens Hood. Hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. Also, since the end of the lens is extended and the hood features a durable anodized aluminum construction, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. It also has a non-glare matte finish on the inside to prevent reflections.

COMPATIBILITY

Can be used on all Canon EOS EF-Mount full frame and APS-C cameras including 90D, 80D, 77D, 70D, 60D, 50D, 40D, 30D, 20D, 10D, 7D, 6D, 5D, 1D, Rebel T8i, T8, T7i, T7s, T7, T6i, T6s, T6, T5i, T5, T4i, T3i, T3, T2i, T1i, SL3, SL2, and SL1.

    Question: Please tell me if this 1 more expensive lens could be used to obtain the similar quality images than 3 less expensive lenses that I am looking at -- 35mm prime f/2.4, 50mm prime f/1.8, the kit 18-55mm lens. I am on a budget and new to SLRs...thanks in advance
    Answer: It is not a fisheye lens. Lines appear fairly straight. I am a real estate broker and have liked using this lens to capture small spaces (bathrooms, pantries, closets, hallways, etc.).
    Question: Does this lens work on the 70D? Looks like it'd be a great lens for video and stills
    Answer: I haven't used the 35mm but i can assure you the image quality is better than the 50 f1.8 or the kit lens. This sigma will serve you well as a starter lens and actually shouldn't be something you immediately feel like upgrading. Primes are well and good if you are ready for them but zooms are better for starting out. if you test out different focal lengths you can find out what prime lenses will work best for you. you don't want to buy a 35mm just to find out you'd rather have a 24, etc.
    Question: Is it work with Canon 5D mark II
    Answer: Yes it does work and it is a great lens.You will be happy with the picture quality and sharpness.
    Question: EX DC OS HSM, what does these abbreviation means
    Answer: It should work but it's not the best choice. The 5D is a full frame camera, and the Sigma is for APS-C sensors (smaller sensor). You will see vignetting (black area at edge of picture). You should consider the Sigma 24-60mm 2.8 instead, or check this list for other Sigma lenses for full frame cameras: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Full-Frame-Lens-Substitutes-Sigma/lm/R1XMV8PZXQALTP
