The Lightdow 420-800mm f/8.3 Manual Zoom Super Telephoto Lens is an affordable option for those who want to experiment with telephoto photography.

First of all, let us address the elephant in the room; this lens is a FULL manual lens with NO electronic contacts. This means that your camera will not be able to detect the lens when it's mounted, and it will show "LENS NOT ATTACHED." In order to use this lens correctly, you need to switch to MF MODE.

To use this lens properly, you need to follow these simple steps:

1. Set the mode dial to Manual (M).

2. Set the Release w/o Lens option in the camera menu to Enable.

3. Set the Shutter lock option in the camera menu to Off: no lens.

4. Fine-tune the front focusing ring to make the subject in-focus and take a sample picture.

If your picture turns out to be dark or low in quality, there are several steps you can take to improve it. Firstly, try lowering the shutter speed from 1/500s down to 1/100s or slower, even 1/50. Secondly, raise the ISO Number from ISO 100 to ISO 200/400/800. Thirdly, use a remote shutter release and tripod to increase image stability. Lastly, try switching to a different position to allow more environmental light to come through the lens into the camera imaging sensor.
