Delivers exactly what is specified... which is a warning, not praise :-)
It's not unreasonable to say that the lens itself is 8% the quality of a $1200 sigma, for 8% of the price... I picked this up as "something to build a raspberry pi mount for", but took it out for a day of wildlife shooting anyway; if you've used other telephoto lenses, the big non-obvious thing to watch out for is that its *minimum* focus distance is something like *35 feet*. After that, with a steady hand (no IS) and good eye (no autofocus) and familiarity with the manual modes on your camera body (the canon adapter is purely mechanical, the camera doesn't get *any* information from the lens) it's definitely something you can use to work on the "camera wielding craft" part of photography. Attached pics taken with a Canon EOS 80D, and this lens, with the UV filter and Canon-adapter-ring that were in the otherwise-disposable accessories.

Good price, okay product.
The lens itself is a good product for the price but there is some type of blue marking in the picures. I am a little upset about the tripod. The tripod is unstable and very shaky. I give it a four star because it is a good product for the price. I take pictures of birds in my lawn and some pictures turn out good.
