Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Disputed Lens - I Like It
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm giving this 4 stars because it's pretty much exactly what I expected. A good entry level telephoto lens. I've used this lens both with a tripod and without, and I really haven't had a problem with blurring at the longest focal length - you just need to plant yourself somehow, hold your breath, and think about what you're doing. This is at ISO 400 in full sun. I wouldn't recommend 100 without a tripod.
My biggest gripe would be that the manual focus is almost impossible - it grinds hard and forces big jumps. But so far, this hasn't come up.
Is this the best lens? No. Is this the best lens for the price? Absolutely. I'd recommend this lens to anyone who wants to add a telephoto to their kit but doesn't want to drop $400. If you've got the bucks, go with the IS. If you don't, this is a very good glass.
Digital camera Review: Dusty trails
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this lens just 1 week before a trip to South America. It performed great. Got plenty of great shots. Was "off" road quite a bit in bumps dusty conditions, had no performance issues.Digital camera Review: EXCELLENT LENS/VALUE FOR THE 5 Stars
I have owned this lens for about 3 months now and have nothing but good things to say! Many reviewers reguard this as a LOW END LENS, poorly constructed and won't reep sharp images. As with any lens you do need to receive a good copy as I did. I use this lens mounted to my Rebel XT and have taken over 500 photos at 300mm with excellent results! I do not use One Shot Auto Focus, for best results you should set the Camera focus to AI SERVO which enables the Lens into FULL TIME FOCUS, this will lock all focus points to get crisp/sharp images, if you try that you will see how well this lens will preform! I do own the standard kit lens + The EF-S 17-85mm Is Lens + The EF-S 10-22mm IS lens. For the money you can't beat this lens, I paid $189.99 for it and have no complaints! Canon has a New Lens due to be released in Sept,05...a 70-300mm version with IS and has a retail price of $649.99! This is something I would be interested in testing, but I am very pleased with the results I receive with the lens I have!Digital camera Review: Easy to use
Summary: 4 Stars
We have used the lens a few times at our sons soccer games and we captured every kick straight through. My wife used it to take pictures of our kids on a ferris wheel and she caught every moment up close.
So far we have had no problems with the lens. It has served its purpose the next test will be at Walt Disney World and Sea World........
Digital camera Review: Excellent General Purpose Zoom Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a Canon EOS 20D digital SLR and the Canon EF 75-300mm zoom lens to take photographs of my children's various sporting events. The magnification factor of this lens is perfect for a variety of sporting events including lacrosse, basketball, swimming and gymnastics. The focusing speed is very good for capturing action shots. I highly recommend this lens as an affordable general purpose zoom lens.
