How Good is This Lens? I give it a Workout!

My Review of a Super Zoom Lens! The Andoer 420-800mm lens with T2 fitting. It requires a T2 adaptor to fit most DSLR and Mirrorless cameras, is fully manual and with APSC sensor cameras, gives a 630mm to 1200mm extreme focal length. So, what's it like to use and . . . is it sharp?

Beautiful video and very helpful for me as a first timer to Glen Etive!
Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And enjoy Glen Etive too! Cheers👍
I love Canada. That's the only foreign language I can speak and read.
Hahaha! French as well as English?😂🤣😂 Cheers👍
Really good and enjoyable Nigel. Love Grizzlies.....from that distance and behind safety fences.😂
Thanks very much Peter! Yes, they're great from a safe distance! Hope all well? Cheers👍
Hi, oh we loved the lumberjack show it was so much fun. They are so skilled ! The bears were beautiful and impressive. Thank you for showing us this great place. All the best Chelsea and Mike
Thanks very much guys for your comments, much appreciated! Cheers👍
Thanks very much Carole, glad you enjoyed it! Cheers👍👍
Amazing!
Brilliant Video, we are So Lucky to have people who care, good luck i with the completion.♥️😋 But surely this is Roger Waters in this video 😉
Thanks very much Andrew, I'm glad you like it! I had no idea about Roger Waters, or Muddy Waters for that matter!🤣👍
I've watched many videos about this trip and yours was very well done. I debated taking the trip myself, but opted for a cross-Canada, sleeper class journey on The Canadian instead. I want the train experience, not sleeping in hotels. I get a 5 day/ 4 night experience with gourmet meals and my own cabin for less than it costs for 2 days on the Rocky Mountaineer.
Thanks for your kind words! Yes, I would love to do the Canadian too, maybe one day? The Rocky M is a very different experience of course and yes, quite expensive, particularly if you travel Gold Class! Cheers👍
thank you sir Gandalf!
Thank you monsieur Sartre🤣👍

Shame you missed shots of Suilven mountain. It’s spectacular!
Yes, it is a shame, but we were on holiday, and I wasn't aware of it at the time either. But yes, it would've been great to hike to, had we the time! Cheers👍
Terrific stuff. I took a very rainy walk along this stretch this morning 🙂
Thanks very much! Yes, I can well imagine just how muddy it would've been in places too! Cheers👍
Fun review, just placed an order on this one for myself as well :)
I'm sure you're going to enjoy the results from this lens! Cheers👍
It is so strange that you don't have many views...It is so clear. And, I am not going to skywalk - thanks to your video. It gives me clear view. You saved me $$$.
Thank you! Yes, more views would be great! Anyway, I'm glad my Vid has saved you money, as the Skywalk is not as dramatic as it looks and too crowded! Cheers👍
Did you get the 1.4X Teleconverter to use with this? I own both 100-400 (bought when it was the only long tele-zoom was available) and 70-300. Former is a wonderful lens but whew!! heavy for me. For travel got 70-300 last year seeing your other video, very sharp lens. But miss the 400mm reach at times and wish i carried 100-400. The TC would solve that and also keep the weight down. Any chance you shot with this lens and the TC?
Hi, Thanks for your comments! No, I haven't tried the 1.4TC as yet, but will hopefully in the next couple of weeks! The 100-400 is a lens I was hoping to get, but the 70-300 was more affordable and practical! Cheers👍
Holyoke
???
@NigelHarperPhoto oh sorry, I didn't know what to say. I was stuck between "Holy Smokes!" And "Holy Moly!" So I ended up with Holyoke. I really like your creation, man. It is so cool. I have never seen anything quite like it. The only thing close is the Chimney sweeps instrument from Mary Popins.
@@jedidiahmayes7167 Aha! Yes, it's quite a unique contraption, that keeps him fit I guess whilst playing! Cheers👍
It's an excellent lens. Almost red badge quality. I use it for stills covering sport (polo and windsurfing) and dogs (running on the beach) and when hiking. First used it on a XT4 (26Mp), now on a XT5 (40Mp) and on the new sensor it holds up exceptionally well.
Yes, For it's undoubted sharpness, practicality and affordability, it's hard to beat! How are you finding the performance of your XT5 over the XT4? Cheers👍
I wish I had a tea kettle that sounded like this
Yep, Me too! Cheers👍

MY GO TO LENS ON THE XT3 WAS ALWAYS THE 55-200 BUT WITH XT 5 I AM WONDERING IF I SHOULD SWAP OVER TO THE 70-300. YOUR VIEW? I HAVE FOUND THIS VIDEO HELPFUL. THANKS.
I had the 55-200 which is an excellent lens! My 'RAMPA' video of racing cars was mostly shot with it! I needed a little more reach for wild life etc and the 70-300 fitted the bill. And it's able to take the 1.4 or 2x tele extenders too. Something I've yet to get! Thanks👍

I got chatting to one of the locals who was battling the undergrowth there. He told me prior to the two lads dying in the fire, the church was being used by a coven, and had seen a pentagram painted on the church floor. It was quite the scandal apparently and reported in the local press.
Thanks for the info! Yes, a local I spoke to mentioned there being a pentangle on the church floor! Obviously before the fire, as it was unused as a church for around 5 years. But the local thought it was nonsense! Anyway, there's no doubt it has a rather ominous history, that's for sure! Cheers👍
Very creepy and made my hair stand one end. Well it woulf have done if it was possible in my case.😂

You're going to have a great time! I'd love to do it again and that's the direction I'd choose too! Thanks for your kind comment. Cheers👍
Wonderful video. I bought the 70-300mm lens for my X-E3 and managed to get an 1/8" photograph of a squirrel in the late afternoon in the depths of winter. Then bought the 1.4X teleconverter and bought the X-S20 about a year ago. I keep the 70-300mm and the 1.4X teleconverter on the X-S20 and the 18-55mm on the X-E3. They are in separate bags and I can carry both of them around quite happily. I did some pixel peeping and a photograph of a heron with the 70-300mm and the 1.4X TC was razor sharp. For wildlife I use manual aperture and shutter speed and auto-ISO like you do. I also use the LIVE VIEW HIGHTLIGHT ALERT and use the exposure compensation dial to prevent overexposure of white areas of birds, especially swans.
Hi Catherine, Thanks for your kind and informative comments! I've been meaning to try out the 1.4 TC for some time. I may lease it for a week for a good workout! Funnily enough I've had my eye on the XS20. Mainly for it's improved autofocus for wildlife over my XT-3's. How have you found it? Cheers👍
@@NigelHarperPhoto I have had the X-S20 for almost a year and am not a heavy user. But I used it in the US in April to photograph the solar eclipse. I find it a lot easier to use than the X-E3, this camera wouldn't always focus correctly with the 18-55mm lens and had to change the RELEASE/FOCUS PRIORITY to FOCUS. I also have problems with the angle of the shutter button on the X-E3 and find it awkward to press it downwards and prefer the angled shutter button on the X-S20. The X-S20 feels right with the large grip makes it easy to hold the 70-300mm lens with the 1.4X TC and there is less strain on the wrist. I prefer the arrangement of the flip out screen but don't use it very much, but always have it with the screen pointing inwards when putting the camera away in order to protect it. On a very hot day in early September I went to Trent Lock that is close to Nottingham to photograph some dragonflies using burst mode and pre-shot. UHS-1 SD cards were used and the camera took some time to write the data to the cards, after taking about 750 photographs a warning icon appeared about the camera going to overheat. I think that I flipped open the screen to allow better cooling and have now standardised on UHS-2 SD cards for both cameras. Unfortunately the insects were not posing very well so it was difficult to take good photographs, but I manage to photograph a dragonfly in flight using the bird detection setting. I set the manual focusing to linear for astronomical photography because I found it difficult to use with the default nonlinear setting. Even though I haven't done any video photography with it, I like the idea of having a video recording button next to the shutter release button so I can easily change between taking photographs and taking videos. I also plan to use the custom buttons for "normal" videos and slow motion videos. The X-S20 is a wonderful camera and it is the best one that I have ever used. However, when I was walking into the Grand Canyon in April, I used the X-E3 with the 18-55mm lens for size and weight of that setup. The colours of the photographs were beautiful.
@@catherinegrimes2308 Thank for your info on the XS20! I can quite understand the handling issues etc with the XE3, not that I've used one! Anyway, thanks again and all the best with your photography. Cheers👍👍

An interesting fact is that each company has their own track out west and it is directional, 1 west bound and 1 east bound. So, each company runs on home track one way and foreign track the way.
