I was goofing around on Ebay and found this monster:

Seeing that Rokinon makes it, I'm not expecting L lens image quality but it seems like a interesting bang for your buck option and their newer lenses seems to be getting better (My fisheye lens has been an interesting experience). Anyone tried this lens before?

It's basically a telescope with fixed aperture & an EF mount.

Image quality wise? Expect a lot of colour fringing & very-very soft images.

This lens isn't even suitable for astronomy. I'd rather get a proper high-end astronomy telescope & convert it to EF mount.
