Product Information

Full details

The Big Mike's 420-1600mm telephoto zoom lens is an ideal tool for wildlife, sports, and astrophotography enthusiasts who need extreme reach at an affordable price point. Its primary benefit is the exceptional focal range, further extended by a 2X teleconverter, allowing for crisp detail on distant subjects; however, users should be aware that this is a manual focus lens, which requires practice and patience to master compared to modern autofocus optics.

FAQs

Does this lens have autofocus?

No, this is a dedicated manual focus lens designed for precise control.

Can I use this on a mirrorless camera?

This lens is built for Canon EF-mount DSLRs. You may use it on mirrorless cameras if you have an appropriate EF-to-mirrorless adapter.

What kind of tripod do I need?

Due to the size and weight of the lens at full extension, a heavy-duty tripod with a solid fluid head is highly recommended.

Is the aperture adjustable?

No, the lens features a fixed f/8.3 aperture, so exposure control is managed via shutter speed and ISO.

Can I use the teleconverter with any other lens?

The included teleconverter is specifically calibrated for this lens series and may not perform as expected with other optics.

Troubleshooting

Image appears blurry or soft.

Verify manual focus is set correctly and ensure you are using a sturdy tripod to minimize camera shake.

Camera does not detect the lens.

Ensure the lens is fully twisted into the locked position and the camera is set to Manual (M) or Aperture Priority (Av) mode.

Difficulty focusing on subjects.

Utilize the camera's Live View zoom-in feature on the rear screen to check focus precision before taking the shot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely long reach for wildlife and nature photography
  • High-quality optics minimize distortion
  • Includes a 2X teleconverter for additional magnification
  • Robust construction for outdoor durability

Cons

  • Manual focus only, requiring more time to set up shots
  • Fixed f/8.3 aperture is relatively slow, requiring good lighting conditions
  • Heavy setup due to the focal length requiring a sturdy tripod
  • Significant narrow field of view requires stabilization

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To attach the lens, align the white indicator dot on the lens mount with the corresponding mark on your Canon EF DSLR camera, and rotate clockwise until it clicks. When using the 2X teleconverter, attach the converter to the camera body first, then mount the lens to the converter.

To ensure longevity:

  • Clean the Glass: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and a lens cleaning solution to gently wipe the front and rear elements.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment with the lens caps secured to prevent dust accumulation.
  • Stability: Always use a tripod collar if provided, or balance the setup carefully on the tripod head to prevent strain on the camera's lens mount.
