What this lens is good for
Casual wildlife and reach
A 150-600mm full-frame equivalent telephoto zoom at just 423g, an affordable and very light way to reach distant subjects for casual wildlife, birds, and the Moon. The compact size makes it easy to carry, unusual for this much reach. Full guide →
Daylight telephoto
The slow variable aperture means it works best in good light, but for daylight reach on a budget the 600mm equivalent is remarkable for the size and price. It is not weather sealed, so it suits fair-weather outdoor use.
