Reasonable good crisp photos. Used this lens for game photography, a little “short” for the African bush but a nice lens all the same, no complaints.
Great Deal on Camera Lense
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve spent days looking online for a lense like this and finally went to Amazon.com. After a short minute or two, this deal came along and I jumped on it. The seller advertised the lense as like new, and boy was it ever. I was pleasently surprised upon opening the shipping box and discovering the lense was in perfect condition. I feel I made a very smart choice by using Amazon.com. I saved almost half the store cost on this item. From now on, I will always shop with Amazon before looking at the online auction services…Thanks!
Not good for Aviation photos, but might be ok for portraits
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I should start off stating that I am a newbie at SLR photography, but with the basic rules underneath my belt of focal length and shutter speeds figured out, I decided I could graduate to this lens. This is my first external lens purchase for my Rebel 1Ti SLR outside of the 55-85mm stock USM IS lens. I had read all the reviews for this lens on here first and decided to take a chance with this lens. I did not see anyone mentioning using this for aircraft or aviation photography, but since this was the least expensive lens, I took the gamble.
The lens fit my SLR fine and was simple to figure out. My first test subjects proved to be impressive, and I think make a good case for this lenses strong point! The pictures were of common household goods such as ceiling fans, my dog, etc. It is good to know that this lens will function “well enough” for those purposes, but I noticed that it would hesitate, and not accurately focus. It would “hunt” for the focus for a few moments, and only rectified by changing the zoom on the lens. I wasn’t too concerned here, as I specifically bought this lens for aviation photography. I was not concerned with the lack of IS, as I keep the shutter speed fast for the majority of the shots. (1/500).
After shooting a few hundred pictures today at the local regional airport, I came home to discover only 4 somewhat usable photos. Almost all photos were either too soft, too blurry, or too out of focus. Granted, I did use the auto focus feature on the lens exclusively, but the lens was taking soft photos throughout the various shutter speeds, focal lengths, etc. I did intentionally vary shutter speeds and f/stops, but all “action” shots were blurry, including ones in the action shot setting on my Rebel. Again, Even with the college class I took on photography, I’m not a pro and I very well may have changed a setting, however, with so few usable shots from today, I’m certain I did everything textbook. I don’t know if stopping it down would have yield any better results, but after doing all the tricks i could think of in the field, I was confident that I would have had at least a set of good pictures.
I must state this, I was aware that the quality might not have been all there due to previous reviews, but as with I’m sure most of us, I cannot justify to my wife buying an L series 70-200mm lens (or better) now, and unfortunately after today’s follies, I do not think she will let me ever take that step.
Bottom line, this lens would be great for close-up still life (flowers, portraits, macro-attachments, etc) but NOT good with anything of movement or at distances, regardless of settings. Also, AF is garbage.
great lense

My first interchangeable SLR Lens,Very smooth and capable of taking great photos,I just took it for my first safari at corbett National Park,I took stunning images of wildlife in dense and wild jungle with this canon beauty.
Images are very sharp in daylight even at dawn and dusk(low light) even it produces
excellent pictures in indoor shooting.
Value for money.

This is an excellent all-purpose zoom lens for the Canon family of digital cameras. I recommend it to all, beginners to professionals.

This product has no “Image Stabilizer” feature. It is not important if the lens has USM and there is no need to be EF-S type.

I found the lens first rate, requirements were quick location of subject, depth of field, and rapid focus. the Canon EF 75-300 f/4-5.6 III performs all these very well.
Great lens for the price!!

I purchased this lens a few days ago and have taken many action shots of birds and airplanes already and am very please. I was concerned by some of the reviews complaining about the lens being slow to focus. I did not find this to be a problem, however, it does on occasion decide to run the focus all the way one direction and then come back to the proper point.
Some people complained that it randomly decided what to focus on. To those people I say, READ YOUR CAMERA’s MANUAL! There is an option to select what point in your view your camera’s auto focus will focus on and this is NOT a flaw of the Lens!
When I left my Canon Rebel XS in Full Automatic mode, it decides on the point. Put it in a more manual mode, pick the point you want it to focus on, and it works fine. See page 102 of the Canon EOS manual.
Bottom line, if you are stepping up from a point and shoot or don’t want to spend $500-$2000 on a lens, this is a great buy.

This lens works very well with all canon cameras. It is particularly good for action shots of sports and bird watching. It is OK for floral closeups but op for a macro lens if possible.
If you can afford an IS lens, don’t buy this one
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This lens is great for portraits if you have very steady hands or with a tripod. I bought this lens about 3 months ago and because I do not have such steady hands my photos lack of sharpness. However in photography you should always buy once cry once, so I do recomend to find a similar telephoto lens with IS capability

I bought this lens to photograph urban wildlife. Reviews of a competitive lens on another online store indicated slow Automatic Focus, AF, so I looked at Canon. For a modestly higher price this lens had better reviews.
Then I looked on Amazon and was surprised the Canon lens cost less on Amazon than the lenses on the competing site. Delivery was competitive and faster. I got next day delivery at regular rates, due to my location relative the shipper. I recommend checking that before paying for ‘fast’ service. It’s pretty easy to do on the UPS and FedEx websites.
I like the lens. Pictures are sharp, it’s easy to use. I find the AF not as useful as hoped and tend to mostly use Manual Focus. It is easy to switch from AF to MF and back again. The lens is not too heavy in my opinion, but I am not hiking around with it either.
image stabilization
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
just remember that at this price there is no image stabilization. So bright light and fast shutter speeds are called for. a good lens none the less.
Dont wait…DO IT! Couldn’t be happier!

I’ve waited a long time to get one of these for a price I could afford. Well worth the price…the price is WOW! I’ve already taken some of my best photos with it! In love with the 300mm.
