Had one for about six months a LONG while ago. The results I got were phantastic as far as resolution, sharpness ect. was concerned. I used it with my SL2 and the R7.

But it was a pain to rigg the thing ! You have to use two tripods actually, one near the handle, one additional support at the front of the lens.

It takes some time to get things right. When you are ready, the butterfly is long gone, at least my were. I was in a position to sell it with quite a profit, so I let it go.

In case you are an experienced long lens user - or you are planning to become one - try it out. You won´t be disappointed. But it might take a bit of time until you handle it quickly ...

Best
