I started loving photography when I ventured into blogging. There’s something about capturing moments, landscapes, and little details around me that makes me feel happy. So, one day, while browsing a TikTok shop, I saw this live selling highlighting a telephoto lens with amazing features. It instantly captured my attention, so I added it to my basket and checked out. A few days later, the telephoto lens arrived. The shipment was faster than expected.
I was too excited to open my parcel, as I also want to promote it once I am satisfied. The telephoto lens can also be used as a monocular with the eyepiece hood mounted. The idea of having a 2-in-1 tool for both photography and sightseeing sounded perfect for me.
At first, I liked how convenient it was. The lens is light, easy to carry around, and simple to attach to my camera. And...it's like a cute DLSR camera! Turning it into a monocular was also very quick, which I thought would be great for exploring outdoors and capturing cute creatures out in nature. For someone who enjoys both photos and views, it seemed like a smart buy.
But when I started using it, I was honestly disappointed. The photos weren’t as amazing as I expected. The colors looked a bit dull, blurry, and the details I usually love to capture just didn’t pop.
Even when I tried it as a monocular, it was only okay and didn’t give me the wow factor I was hoping for. And the dark corners don't seem to make the photo amazing.
As much as I wanted to love this lens because it's cute, I can’t say I’d recommend it to fellow photography lovers. Let's say it’s convenient, easy to use, and cute, but the quality isn’t great enough if you really care about getting clear, beautiful shots. If you’re just a casual user, it's probably fine. But if photography is your passion, I’d suggest saving up for a better photo lens.
So, this telephoto lens was more of a disappointment than a game-changer. It reminded me that when it comes to photography and anything else, quality matters more than convenience.
But in case you want this and curious about its price, you can check this link.
Thanks for your time.
