sometimes I will put on the EF-S 55-250 IS STM with a 1.5x or 2x teleconverter, switch it to manual focus, and use the 10x zoom to get an awesome, high quality image-stabilized 'digital telescope' of roughly 150x! A 500mm lens would be roughly 10x power on full frame, multiply by crop sensor factor 1.6x to get 16x, but then multiply by the 10x magnification zoom to get 160x! In reality the teleconverter probably isn't quite 2x, so 150x is probably more realistic. Better than a good pair of binoculars, plus it can also zoom with a zoom lens!

Plus you can then just hit the shutter for a hard copy!!
