 Canon Lens October 8, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
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.
Great lens! September 30, 2007

We purchased the Canon 20d almost 2 years ago and have been using the 18-55mm kit lens. But after being frustrated about not getting the close shots at our daughter's dance recitals, we started the search for a telephoto lens.
We were always interested in knowing who was reviewing a lens so I'll tell you that we are a mom and dad who want to get the good shots at recitals and sporting events. We are not professional photographers who want to or can justify spending a ton of money on some of the TOP NOTCH lenses out there. We did look at the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 and loved it. But it was almost $1000 and heavy for one of us.
We wanted to keep our purchase under $500 so the final choice was between the 3 Canon 75-300 lenses (III, USM, and IS USM). After research we decided to try this lens. It was the mid-range of the three and at a reasonable price. It also had pretty good reviews for the most part.
We purchased this lens this week and received it Friday. We have already taken over 200 photos with it. We are VERY happy with our purchase! The photos we have taken are clear and crisp -- even at 300mm. We had a few of the pics come out blurry but we suspect that was operator error not lens error. In fact, at yesterday's soccer game, another set of parents was checking it out. After seeing the pics we emailed them of their daughter, they want to buy this lens too!
Bottom line, if you can afford (and/or can justify buying)a more expensive lens then go for it. But if you are a parent or amateur who wants to get some great pics with a lens at a great price, then this is the lens for you!
good lens for the money September 28, 2007
To be very honest with you, after I took some pictures with this lens without tripod I thought of returning this lens back. I was very upset. Yesterday I bought the Tripod and tried shooting the moon. Man it was awesome. I took very good pictures with it. I haven't tried any sports event or any moving objects but certainly i will post the quality once i have taken.
When I tried with 9 point AF the lens was struggling to fix the focus. But when I used center point focus it worked perfectly well except slight movement of focus ring.
Very good long distance lens for the price September 28, 2007

I have no complaints with this lens at all. It is great quality for the price. You can get some blur and fuzzy pics when shooting at 300 with no cam stand but that is a given for any budget zoom lens when shooting by hand.
Great for the Price! August 27, 2007

There is no doubt that the IS version must be better...but the price is good, and the lensa is very good too! I've used it in different conditions, and the results have been great. I highly recommend this lens.
