[QUOTE="Pierro, post: 70837, member: 8517"] Aha. Looks to me like a converted Astro Scope. Not saying they're crap, because i've DIY converted 3 Astro Scopes in time ( all 600mm FL ) for bird photos, and they worked brilliantly, and had comparable IQ to real big pro DSLR lenses, but you have to be discriminate in which scope you buy. I think that big ol 1300 is a bit suspect. Also the price is a bit of a give away. There aint many free lunches in the world of lenses, and I doubt very much that scopey looking thing has any Ohara 53 glass in it. 2 of my scopes were twice the price of that one, and only half the FL, but they had the best Japanese glass ( Ohara ) and were configured as airspaced doublets.
