Sun MC 85-300mm f/5 is a manual focus ultra telephoto zoom lens for full frame cameras.
Optical design
Not the best in low light conditions but the lack of high aperture can be compensated with higher iso Has 6 aperture blades, this number of blades are commonly used. Having rounded blades provides out of focus circle shape closer to a circle.Physical characteristics
185 mm long, with this size carry only if you use it. Weights 852 grams so it is a heavy lens, consider using its own lens bag. With a lens filter diameter of 62 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter you may want to use a step-up ring and 67 or 77mm filter.Sun MC 85-300mm f/5 purchase history
