Can I gather opinion on this from members?
I am interested in 500mm lens for my Sony a300.
The sony ones cost about £400 and I cant afford that. However, I found on ebay the following auction:

The price looks great. I emailed the seller to ask him what lens manufacturer this was from and got the following reply:
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your email.
These lenses are manufactured in the same factory in Japan and Korea as
brands such as Phoenix, Kenko, Tokina, etc. They are the same specifications
and quality but without the markup for a brand name. Because we purchase in bulk, these big factories take our orders and we can supply at much lower
prices than the brands above.
Please feel free to contact us for any further
information that you may
need.
Regards,
Anu
