Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent optic. Requires an additional adapter on most cameras.
It will NOT work with the flash units built into most cameras. If you are using this product with any flash, good luck. It is meant for very long distance work with the high zoom cameras. Your flash should be off when using it.
You need to reprogram the Focus system on most cameras so that all focusing is done Thru The Lens. (TTL Focus.) For many models this means you have to dig in the camera settings and find the Accessory Lens item. Turn that on. For some reason Kodak didn't put this with the rest of the Focus controls in some cameras.
These limitations apply to most lenses, hoods, and filters, especially on cameras that need an adapter to mount them. Accessory lenses and hoods frequently block the port hole used by the auxiliary focus system.
This lens is rather heavy. You'll want a quality tripod and might also want to turn OFF image stabilization for best results. (Image stabilizing is not designed to handle the distances that this lens can deliver.)
This lens is meant to be used at or near the maximum Optical Zoom available on your camera. (Digital Zoom that comes in After Optical is maxed also works.) If you go too wide, the image will become tunneled (Vignetted) and depending on the camera, you may not be able to zoom out very much at all before this happens.
When combined with a 10-12X optical zoom and very ridged tripod, you will be able to clearly see things up to several miles away using this lens.
