Hi,

The Phoenix lens is identical in cost and performance to the Tokina

lens, we had an issue with the Tokina lenses that we were sent by

our suppliers and they were sent back. Apparently they had reports

that the lens was faulty and defective, and damaging people's

cameras, thus the lenses were returned to the supplier and we were

given these Phoenix lenses as a viable substitute of equal value and

capability. They do work on cameras just as well as on camcorders,

and they work exactly the same way as any other telephoto lens.

Simply attach the correct adapter to your camera and then attach the

lens to the adapter, and you will be all set with your 3x telephoto

lens. Please let me know if you require further assistance with this

lens.

Sincerely,
