 Incredible! January 12, 2008

definitely the best present i've ever bought. i got it for my wife for christmas and she's in love, going from a 18-55mm zoom to 75-300mm is a major difference, now all those animals won't be so hard to see.
Good Value, poor sharpness. December 14, 2007

For the price and range of this 75-300 zoom it probably cannot be beat, but don't expect to actually have consistently sharp photos when shooting at 300mm. The 4-5.6 aperture allows you to shoot handheld with decent sharpness in the daytime, however to really get a sharp image stopping down to f8 is needed and by then hand holding is only an option in very bright sun.
Auto focus is not perfect but generally finds the subject quick enough.
Lens has no zoom lock, so when the lens is facing downward, while photographing or just walking, the lens will extend due to gravity, which is kind of annoying.
The size and weight of lens is pretty small and light when considering a 300mm zoom.
All and all this lens was a very good purchase when I bought it 6 years ago for $130 on ebay. Although now after using a few Canon L lenses, I find myself not wanting to take this out of the bag because the sharpness is disappointing. However again it must be said, it is probably the cheapest way you can get a zoom of this range and still have usable images.
 Long Focal Length on the Cheap December 7, 2007

Go this along with my Rebel XTi 18-55 kit. Not bad. Great lens for action, sports, or wildlife. You can also create great depth with this one. Wish the aperture would open up to 3 at least. I shot hockey for an assignment and really had a tough time, I got my shots, but I could've gotten more with a larger ap. Will upgrade on this in the next couple years. They make a 70-300 USM with IS that I will replace this with eventually, but for right now, this is nice to have in my case, just in. . . case.
First Impression November 21, 2007
I was expecting the images taken at a distance to be a bit fuzzy around the edges but have been pleasantly surprised. The construction seems to be sturdy enough.
Nice daytime lens November 21, 2007
Nice affordable lense in adequate lighting or with a good strong flash. Fast silent auto-focus.
