What is the aperture and focal length of that telescope?
Jason H0 said:thanks for replying so quick. what do u mean by a toy scope? Is it that the quality of the images is no up to standard? I did not have any idea what is the focal length or aperture.

It was stated that they only 300 set per branch. wonder if can still get it after work.

maginification is from 14X to 200X with f/5.9
which means it magnify larger than Canon 1200mm L which can cost you a HDB flat.
if you mount the telescope on camera, it should be able to auto expose but not auto focus.
Only question is as it magnify further, does it reduce the aperture?
Since telescope lens cannot zoom. from layman terms, it means prime lens. does it produce good optical result as compared to normal camera lens?

dun worry, no body touch it.. no body buy it...
dun think u can hook it up to the EOS 300 ... it is too light.. the camera body would make the whole setup unbalance..
image quality is HORRIBLE....
