Thanks for positive comments about the RJ from jinfinance, I have placed an order for it.
Looking forward to getting some wildlife pics/video with the 150-500mm.
Stills are going to be tricky I'm sure, but some of the videos I've seen look very good.
I've bought a few smaller bits from China before (under £18 limit) without problem, but got caught for VAT on a slightly larger item once, but still worked out cheaper.
Thanks again

I have a cheap adapter too, it is pretty well built. There are some niche uses and some have indulged in very elaborate setups but I haven't yet seen any photo with adapted lenses that I would regard as particularly good. But it's quite fun to have a play every once in a while.
I think good in the sense that there is no other way of getting 1750mm without the even more complex digiscoping. Very dependent on the lens but works well with the DA* 300. Amazing for wildlife videos from a distance.

Might take a while to load but worth it I think!

etc.
I've compared to cropping 300mm to same and it is superior.
Just my thoughts.

I have the RJ adapter, ordered from China without issue. The aperture control is a bit tricky to get used to but once you get used to it then it's fine. I have ordered a few little bits and pieces from China and service has always been very good indeed. So I wouldn't have any qualms.
