Using multi-coated optics and an advanced reflex design, they're ideally suited for wildlife, nature and sports photography. The included 2x teleconverter will double the focal length to 1000mm, equivalent to the magnification a 20x high-power binocular and for additional control, a set of 3 filters (Skylight, ND-2X and ND-4X) are also supplied. Macro focusing capability provides an image to subject ratio of 1:2.7 and with the 2X teleconverter, incredibly detailed, almost life-size (1:1.35) images can be obtained. Designed to be easy to use, hold and transport, this super-telephoto lens kit offers incredible magnification and value.

This review is from: Phoenix 500mm Multi-Coated Mirror Lens with 2x Teleconverter (=1000mm) for Sony Alpha DSLR A33, A55, A290, A390, A230, A550, A560, A580, A850 Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)

I have tried all I know how to do to make this lense work and produce a quality picture. It is not what I would call a quality lense, I have tried to return it to the supplier to no avail. I have given them everything they have asked for and after three e-mails I have not had this resolved nor have I had any more than 1 response to my inquirey for methods of return. so I cannot reccomend this lense or Cameta as a supplier.
