I was skeptical, even after seeing the photos others sent. Color me surprised though. Let's face it: you're looking at this because you want to take lunar pictures. Maybe even planets! I'll say that I don't think this has *quite* enough zoom even on a crop frame to get a good picture of Saturn or Jupiter, but it does great for the moon and stationary terrestrial objects! I compared the results to the S23's zoom and it is night and day. If I wanted to spend a bit more time and effort, I could probably get nearly crystal clear images of the lunar surface, but even without seriously fiddling with the focus, it gives a significantly better image than the S23 and its witchcraft of cropping a 200mp image and using AI and extant images to fudge the results.
It is a beast though. I'm 6' tall and even collapsed with the 2x adapter, it's longer than my forearm. That said, it's not heavy! A sub-$100 tripod will easily hold it up even with the attachment being on the camera body.
Again, I have to make sure people understand: there is no autofocus, you zoom by literally pulling the lenses apart from each other, there is no image stabilization, and it absolutely needs the telescope mount. What do you expect for a $150 lens?
That said, this thing is an amazing value. Go check for a 500mm lens right now. It's probably more expensive than this thing. Sure, your uses are going to be more limited especially as you learn to finesse the focus, but for the price, I don't think you're ever going to do better.
Obviously these aren't Zeiss lenses, and you're going to have to live with correcting some chromatic aberration. That's to be expected. Even in my best lens, there's a tiny hint of it.
If you're looking for a recommendation to get this lens, you've got one here. Just understand the limitations and you're good to go!

Impressive for the price
Easy to use, comes with adapter for camera. Pic is attached of the moon, did impressively well for the price. Quality is good, does not have auto focus and would need to change aperture to get a clear shot

I read the reviews and was concerned that this lens was completely manual but I ordered it anyway. After some practice I think I have it. So far I’m very happy with the results. This is not point and shoot, you have to get accustomed to manually focusing in quickly, use a tripod or stick to assist in steadying, and use a light touch. Sounds like a lot but it isn’t, just takes some practice. I will have to use a remote shutter release if I use the doubler however, keeping in mind the higher the zoom the more any movement of the camera affects the focus. I’m happy with this lens, much cheaper than spending thousands of dollars and gets the job done.

It works okay if you don't expect it to work like a 10 grand lens.

It has no stabilizer or auto focus. Everything is manual so put camera on M. It is just a cheap telephoto lens but it works. I will play around with it and next time put camera on tripod and use wired shutter to help stabilization and it should help some. I attached a moon pic I just took when I tested lens tonight for first time. Lens is the 420 - 1600mm Vivitar on Canon t3i. It isn't a 10000 dollar lens. It is a 150 dollar lens that came with doubler. It works about how I expected. It is okay if you are patient and not wanting action or sports shots. Updated: I tested and It also records okay in movie mode as long as you are not shaking lens and you don't continuously need to readjust the focus. For anyone worried about adapter or connector or lens just spinning or falling out. There are a couple of tiny set screws that simply need to be tightened. It requires a tiny screwdriver. Overall the cheap lens works but requires lots of practice.
