Pros Price; Build Quality; Image Stabilization; Excellent Focal Length Range
Cons Focus Speed; Rotating Front Element
Recommended it? Yes

For a while I have wanted to complete my camera lens collection. I had the 10-135mm range covered beautifully by my Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM primary lens, and Tokina 10-17mm f3.5-4.5 AT-X 107 AF DX ultra-wide angle fisheye lens. All I needed was a telephoto. Before purchasing my Canon EF... Read full review »

Canon EF 75-300mm f4/5.6 IS USM lens

Pros Good price, effective 3-stop reduction possible, Canon reliability.
Cons Focus often hunts, some softness, especially at 300mm end.
Recommended it? Yes

When buying a new SLR and building your lens collection from scratch, most people will look for a utility lens that covers thew range around the 28-90mm area and the short to long telephoto around the 70-300mm length. After that they might go for prime lenses of a length that suits a specific need... Read full review »

Good lens - when it works

bysagephotoworld Apr 8, 2009
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Inexpensive, stabilised, lightweight, decent IQ.
Cons IQ and focus have foibles that the user has to address in use.
Recommended it? No

I have had this lens for just over a year. I can take some absolutely fantastic images with it. It does take time to get it working each time though.

It has two main foibles - first the IS goes bananas. Second the image quality at 300mm is rather poor.

Now, the solutions for the two... Read full review »

Pros Excellent picture quality throughout zoom range

I use my Rebel XTi mostly for auto racing photos and recently added the 70-300 mm USM IS to my lens collection. This is a really fantastic lens for my purpose.

Good all around zoom lens for Canon DSLRs

Pros Very good lens quality, affordable, black and more compact than L lens
Cons L lens has better build, faster focusing, sharper.
Recommended it? Yes

I'm just a novice who is part of the huge wave of consumers buying DSLRs on the market now. I bought the Canon Rebel XT series, one of the most popular models.

Anyone who buys a DSLR does it to get the flexibility of using different lenses. So the question arises, which ones should I buy?... Read full review »

Pros Great photos, smaller that a 70-200 lens. Image Stabalization
Cons Rotating front element.

This is a very good lens for an amateur to intermediate photographer. The 300 range is very nice for event pictures. I use it for my son’s tee-ball games. I have used it for brother’s graduation from basic training. I captured a lot of photos that others were not able to get because of this... Read full review »

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras Accessory Saver Essentials Bundle

This Kit Includes: 1- Canon EF EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR CamerasEF Brand New 1- 3 Piece Filter Kit Includes: UV, Circular Polarizer and Flourescent Filter and Hard Case 1- Lens Pen Cleaner Brush with Built-In Cleaning Spray Applicator More about this lens: Featuring the latest 3-stop Image Stabilizer for outstanding camera shake reduction, the EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM zoom lens also features super responsive autofocus. Replacing the popular EF 75-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM, the world's first interchangeable lens with Image Stabilizer (IS), the lens is expected to appeal to serious amateur nature and sports photographers looking to achieve outstanding results while shooting hand held. Image Stabilizer IS dramatically reduces image blur caused by camera shake. The EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM features Canon's latest 3-stop IS, a one-stop improvement over its predecessor. This allows shutter speeds up to three stops slower than would otherwise be possible, with no perceptible increase in image blur. Photographers normally shooting a 300mm frame handheld at 1/500 second can obtain the equivalent result with a shutter speed of just 1/60 second, vastly extending options in low-light conditions. Gyro sensors detect unwanted vibrations, triggering the corresponding movement of a correcting lens group perpendicular to the optical axis. This alters the light path, returning the image to its correct position on the sensor or film plane. Supplied Manufacturer Accessories in addition to mentioned above: Front & Rear Lens Caps.
