A bit too expensive than its tamron counterpart but they differ in quality. Amazing picture quality is given by this lens. Perfect zoom and sharp and fast focus. A nice lens to buy.

For an amazing telephoto zoom, with terrific image quality and amazing build quality, look no further than the all around performer that is the Canon 70-300L

Amazing build quality; Stunning image quality; Fast and accurate AF; Rock solid IS

Canon doesn't provide a tripod collar with the lens; you have to buy it after

Canon's 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM lens is a step up from the average telephoto zoom. Canon also makes a much cheaper 75-300mm, but the lens tested here is designed for photographers looking for a step up in both build and picture quality – and this lens has an image stabiliser.

Excelente Lente ! Ótimo vendedor ! Já tirei umas 1000 fotos ! O Estabilizador em 2 níveis funciona muito bem quanto a lente toda aberta e uma ótima opção e a trava de zoom que permite a utilização da lento como uma 70mm fixa ! Recomendo para fotografar natureza e esportes de velocidade !

I bought this lens on sale, other wise I would not have purchased it. I take pics of birds and my results with this lens were disappointing at best. I was previously using a 55-250mm IS ll at half the cost and the results were spectacular by comparison.

Handling and features Performance Verdict Specification Canon have given the 70-300mm range an L-series makeover and as a result this lens sports silent autofocus, with full-time manual override, weather sealing, optical stabilisation and tougher build quality than you might normally find on a lens...

Excellent build quality; Very good sharpness that is consistent through the range; Low CA; Low distortion; Effective optical stabilisation

May seem expensive for a f/4-5.6 zoom (although the premium is probably worth the extra in this case

I am an L lens freak, got almost all of them including 7 primes, etc. Well in this case dont listen to us L-lens freaks. This is really a hidden gem. The DO version is useless, the L-version is outstanding, for built quality.

sharpness; lightweight; great IS

only built quality

"In this zoom range there are many lenses to compare and it wasn't an easy decision. For me it came down to this lens or the 70-200 f/4 L IS USM and after trying both in the store I went with the 70-300 .

Great for outdoor sports and other daytime activities. Decent in lower light settings such as nighttime sporting events.

Excellent Zoom Quality

Slow in low light
