500P - 500mm f/8.0 Telephoto Lens for Nikon with 2x Multiplier
(E11RO500P)
Pros: For the price, this is an excellent starter lens for telephotography. I used the telephoto lens to take fairly decent pictures of the lunar eclipse, but I must admit I have not yet used the 2X Multiplier.
Cons: In order to get the best quality photographs, it must be used with a sturdy tripod. The one I had wasn't substantial enough, so I had to purchase a more expensive tripod, along with a weight bag to keep the lens steady. As with most, if not all, telephoto lenses, this one needs to be used with a remote control shutter release, so if you don't have one, you'll need to purchase that too. I'm not sure about the rather flimsy plastic mount; it doesn't seem to be steady, and at some point I think the hole for the tripod screw will become reamed. This part of the lens should be made of steel rather than cheap plastic.
