i seem do have done nothing but spend money lately ,i bought a chainsaw  firstly,i then i bought a new cover and carry case for my i mac ,then i i found a telephoto lens for my camera it's a 250 to 800mm lens , for my photographic hobby ,i saw in the description
that it is difficult to hold steady for long due to it's length and weight , i got the lens for £83. brand new ,then i came across a tripod ,£8, brand new too . so i had to get that , it does come with a "free" bag when i get it all i will need a new camera
bag . but heh that should be the end of my camera equipment buying for a while ,as i have loads of filters and two other lenses , i can see deep joy in photography this year .Cool

    what make is the lens? The only lens I know that zooms to 800mm for that price is the Opteka 420-800mm.

    Do you use it on a full frame or cropped sensor camera.

    It sounds as it going to be great to use.
