Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Customer Review: great optics, affordable price.
Summary: 5 Stars
when you deal with a canon lens you feal the amount of work spent in making these pieces, and this one is no exception. I baught this lens with my canon EOS 300D (Rebel 2000D)and was really impressed by the superb quality of the images produced. the focus is really ultrasonic, the quality of the lens itself is fantastic, it snaps in easily, and the range is superb for landscaps and closups alike. BUT the tradeoff includes a slightly slower lens to fit the price, otherwise who can buy a 70-300 USM with an f of 2.8 for instance?! the 4-5.6 f is suitable for most of your needs, but probably at the 300 end you MIGHT need a faster film or compansate with a slower shutter speed + a tripod. of course the lens will be somewhat heavy, so a tripod is highly advised. I totally agree with the writer who complained of not selling the lens in a case, after all what you pay for a respectable company, for this lens a case is mandatory.Customer Review: For my new XSI

We were going on vacation to Florida and needed a new lens. Went to the only source we feel confidant in online shopping compared prices and made this purchase at an awesome price. We rec. it in a couple days as promised just in time for our trip. The product was new in original box and undamaged. Flawless. It was a great lense. Highly recommend it if you are not ready to make those HUGE investments on the other lenses. The only thing we had any trouble with is the lense fogging really bad going from inside to outside in the heat and humidity. I new it was not a weather sealed lense, so no surprise. I did miss a few good shots of some beautiful Dolphins but this was my fault for not putting the lense in a place to acclimate it to the weather conditions long enough before using it. Overall I give it a great review.Customer Review: Canon Lens

Excellent lens for the price and to us ameture/novice photographers. I have done quite a bit of research before my actual purchase and for someone who wants to start venturing out into the telephoto world this is a great start. I've been on other pro web sites and to them this may not be the perfect lens, according to the reviews, but I feel I made a great choice. I bought it in mind for sport/action photography, since I have kids. The only down fall is when you can't use flash and taking action photos, the photos come out blurry. That happens to be the case with my daughters gymnastics. But when I'm ready to spend a few hundred dollars or more I'll research for a lens that will overcome that problem. But for now I'm happy.Customer Review: Great value

I bought this lens when I was going to take the kids to the zoo one day. My camera shop was kind enough to remind me I could return it if I were not happy with it. I kept it and have used it several other times with great results on my Digital Rebel. Other than agreeing that there seems to some soft focus if you hit the 300 stop point, the performance of this lens has been a very pleasant surprise - especially when you factor in the price. This is a real lens with a metal lens mount and a fast USM motor that makes focusing instantaneous. I have also found it to be no problem hand holding this lens despite the higher effective focal length since it is mounted on a digital.Customer Review: Works as designed.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a great lens, and the USM motors really do help you focus a lot faster, but still not quite as fast as the smaller lenses.
If you're zoomed all the way in to 250-300mm, you're really going to notice the missing image stabilization (which this lens doesn't have). If you're zoomed in that far, you're going to get some blur even at fairly high shutter speeds. But shooting outside in daylight, I never shoot with a tripod, and I get plenty of keepers.
A good lens, well worth the money. However, if you have the money to spare, a lens with both USM motors and image stabilization will definitely be better, though also much more expensive.
