Canon 50mm lens

I should have paid more close attention when ordering since this lens is so limited as to be rather useless. I can take closeups of flowers but little else.

I recently purchased a pair of Alpen Rainier 8×42 binoculars for birding. I was surprised by the brightness and edge to edge clarity of a binocular that cost under $900.00. Having looked through both Zeiss and Leica,Alpen RAINIER 8×42 Waterproof Roof Prism BinocularI was amazed how little difference there was between the Alpen and the more expensive brands,especially considering that they cost over $1000.00 more. It is comforting to know that the Alpen has a lifetime warranty. The Rainier has a really fast focus to keep the birds in sight. It comes with a very nice case, rain guard, and neck strap.

The product itself is great, but I ordered one day shipping and it took 5 days, if you REALLY want this item, you probably need to order from someone else!

This lens takes great pictures, but why spend $85 for such a limited lens. Save your money and buy one that has a 17-55 range.
