Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM EF Lens

Pros: IS rocks. Great zoom, great over all lens, quick focus. Light weight

Cons: Not a fast lens. but nothing else wrong with this lens at all.

The Bottom Line: Great overall consumer lens.

Review: IS is a great help in slightly lower light situations. The IS is not a replacement for a fast lens as 1/30 or 1/60th when zoomed out still blurs or causes shake. I like this for a good, overall outdoor lens because it's small enough to fit in my ...

Pros: A Good Every Day Lens For The Semi Pro

Cons: Loose A Little Clarity With Fully Extended Zoom.

Review: This is a good quality family use lens. If photographing the kids on a swing, or the pooch chasing a stick, or even the deer snacking in your garden - you can capture life happening! This is a good walk around every day lens. At the 75mm range, the ...

Pros: good zoom range, light

Cons: slooowwwww (high max aperature), no IS system.

The Bottom Line: There are better choices. If you need high focal length a single lens may be a better choice. Not up to Canon's usual high standards.

Review: I bought this lens at the same time I bought my digital rebel body because I wanted a somewhat long zoom for shooting the tigers at busch gardens (from several hundred feet up on the bridge). For what I wanted it for, 300mm just isn't quite enough even ...

Pros: excellent general range solid quality USM motor Canon brand

Cons: poor AF in low light EXTREMELY slow (f/4.0-5.6) bulky, large, and heavy

The Bottom Line: Changing rooms, lighting, etc. makes your photos suffer. Nonetheless, this is a good lens for the money you will pay.

Review: Well, what can I say about this lens? First of all, let me give a fair appraisal of the good poin ...

Pros: - Good zoom range.
- Good quality for price.

Cons: - No image stabilization.
- Poor auto focusing in low light conditions.

Review: This is a good quality, entry-level camera lens which provides a wide zoom range. I purchased it along with my EOS 10D, and after shelling out the $$$ for the camera, my budget limited me to lower-priced lenses to begin with. The lens has produced so ...

Pros: Affordable, adequately sharp

Cons: Not "L-lens" sharp

Review: A couple of months ago, I bought a Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III lens for my Elan 7E to introduce myself to telephoto photography. Since then, I've taken hundreds of shots with this lens on both my Elan 7E and my Digital Rebel. (Don't forget to read my ...

Pros: Many features

Cons: Reliability is not good

Review: Both my Cannon lenses suffered the following problem after 3 year of use: the zooming gets blocked, focusing does not always work. A screw fell out inside the lens, blocking mechanical elements. My lenses: Cannon EF 28-135 IS/USM Cannon EF 75-300 ...

Pros: Light-Weight; Inexpensive; Smooth Zoom

Cons: Softness; Rotating Front Element; Cheap Build

The Bottom Line: The Canon EF 75-300mm f4-5.6 III is Canon's lowest-end telephoto kit lens. It will make true amateurs happy, but beyond that there are better options.

Review: As I was looking into getting a nice mid-range telephoto lens for myself, I borrowed a low-end Canon EF 75-300mm f4-5.6 III lens. This is the lowest-end variant of Canon's consumer level 75-300mm market. The version I used was the non-USM variant. ...

Pros: inexpensive, light

Cons: soft, vignetting, poor construction, small aperture.

Review: The 75-300 does the job and that's all. It has no features that make you say WOW!

Construction: poor... It has a "cheap" feeling. The rings are not tight, so the controls are not precise. You can hear some pieces ratteling when you...

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Cheaply made

Review: I bought this lens when I was new to photography, and it was *not* a good choice. It was inexpensive, but it has some real drawbacks. It's cheaply made. The zoom creeps out when the camera points down. The front element rotates when focusing. Poor...
