I do have a Fotga 420 - 800mm f8.3 -16 superphoto lens but I thought this new lens would be a good addition to my lenses. I will take your advice Rob and send it back to Amazon. It's no use keeping it if it doesn't work as well as the lenses I have now. Thanks to everyone for your help and...

Your pictures are stunning Box Brownie.
