Astro A50 Manual

works exactly as described and I no longer need to use a optical splitter with my PS5 for my Astro A50 headphones as it is detected properly with my PC and consoles. The picture is also clear and the mouse and keyboard support works perfectly. Definitely recommended and worth the cost

This is one of the very best lenses for Astro photography. I stopped using my expensive lens, to use this one. Manual focus and aperture is not for the new photographer, but perfect for a seasoned one.

I'm using this lens mainly for astro photography. And for that, I know no better lens for the price and quality. If the photos turn out bad, it is most likely that I missed out on something. This is a full mechanical, lens, without any computerized aid. Aperture, manual, Focus, manual. But astro photography is a manual mode think, anyway. The APS-C (Crop sensor) cameras usually labeled as useless for astro photography, due to the small size of the sensor. I beg to differ. If the lens is fast enough, (lets in enough light), then it is doable. This 12mm lens goes all the way to 2.0 F stops, which is plenty of light, even for a crop sensor. If you are on a budget, but would like to get into astro photography, then this is your lens.

I was recommended this lens by a friend and he was right, it's great for the price! This lens does everything I need for my Astro shots and landscapes, its a manual focus but doesn't bother me. I highly recommend this lens!

I just bought the canon t3i (body only) from B&H amonth ago to use for astro-photos. Very pleased with that purchase. I got the 85mm Rokinon to do wide field piggy back astrophotos. I don't need all the bells and whistles of auto lenses. Just manual. I took this camera lens combo out in the back yard and was very pleased with the photo quality. Also I was surprised that the images were as sharp as they were without IS. Amazing BOKEH with this lens. I took some video and WOW! I've seen some of the cinema like videos on youtube and it looks like this lens would excel at that also. So far this lens has exceeded my expectations. If you don't mind manual old fashion lens this is a great deal. And thanks to B&H for timely delivery on all items that I have purchased from you. Not one Item have I had to return for any reason, Thanks. Dave W

Going with 5 stars on this, for its exceptional use for astro photography. Using this on my Nikon D700 is a joy. No problems with manual focusing, simply have to hook it up with either Live View or Nikons manual focusing system.

Short of this being a fully manual lens, it’s awesome. I wanted to learn to shoot astro and use it on my Fuji X-T3. I couldn’t pass up the price either. Highly recommended for anyone’s lens kit!

A fast wide lens that works great.  It is manual focus.  I plan to use for astro photography

I am primarily using this as an astro lens for night sky photography, and the manual focus adjustments are a little tricky, but with autofocus and IS on during the daylight, it is crisp!

I use this lens for Astro photography, so I don't mind that it's a manual focus lens. Great lens for the price. You can't use a lens filter with this lens.
