This lens is exactly what I was expecting. The quality of the photos is excellent. The IS works as advertised. I highly reccomend it. If you can't afford Canon's L glass, try this one. It's light and compact, and makes a perfect walk-around lens.

The Canon 70-300mm zoom lens is a good lens. It works as it's advertised to. Canon quality can't be beat. It's light enough so you don't get tired carrying it around all day. I highly recommend it.

I have used this lens extensively over the past several years with 5D2 and 5D3 bodies. I am always amazed of the speed to focus and the beautiful image quality. It is a class act and fully lives up to it "L" pedigree. The only very minor negative is its weight which is slightly heavy.

excellent image quality; fast focus on a 5D3; built like a tank

slightly heavy

At ￡432 the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens should come with a lens hood, but it doesn't. However, it does come with a soft case to protect against scuffs and scrapes and features an Ultra-low dispersion (UD) element and Super Spectra coatings to help reduce fringeing, ghosting and flare.

Updated from my 55-250, the quality of the pictures from this lens is so much better, highly reccomend.

Bought this lens to go on a Canon Eos 200D DSLR Camera. It is fast to focus and has a good zoom range (maybe not as far as others). The photos come out crisp and clear. Even though the lens does feel heavy, when you have it attached to your camera I didn't really notice it.

Pin point focussing; Am in Costa Rica at the moment and couldn't be more pleased

Can't find anything bad to say
