Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Sharp Focus

Overall, I rate this lens very high. It is truly a superb lens. The zoom range covers a broad spectrum of abilities. The sharpness is incredible. The cost is very high, but you are playing for a name brand lens. Well worth the money spent!

The clarity; the small size; lightweight

The price

If you're on a 1.3x or 1.6x crop body (the XTi for example) will give you 112-480mm, which is nice for the extra distance, however, if your wanting to be up with your family and friends and get full body shots you have to be standing quite far away.

Excellent image quality while not an L series lens with a wide aperture it still rocks in cloudy/low light conditions; I've taken 2,000+ images with this lens and it has not let me down

Louder auto focus than other USM lenses, not by a lot though; Autofocus hunts in lowlight at 300mm

This lens is highly versatile and rarely requires me to change lenses. It is a genuine Canon lens with the packaging you would expect to receive if buying the same product in Australia.

I haven't had this lens long but have found it to be excellent. It is quite expensive so I gave it 4 stars for value. This is not a reflection of the quality but just the price. I did receive the money back from Canon quite fast this time in contrast to my previous experience.

I purchased this zoom lens from ZeeMo Digital at a very great price and it lived up to the expectations I envisioned.It was shipped out quickly and was also packaged nicely.

Is it compatible for canon eos 1200d?

Awesome piece of glass! A bit heavy and bummer that it did not come with a tripod collar.

Great quality; nice glass; nice range

Heavy; no tripod collar

Canon's lens range is already extensive and includes two 70-300mm models: the f/4-5.6 IS USM and f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM optics. The new Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM is one of the company's professional L-series models, in traditional off-white with the distinctive red ring around the front.

A fantastic lens. Everything you would expect from a L series lens. I have now taken around 3,000 photos using this lens on a 500D, mainly of kids playing sport. The focal length range is ideal. The build quality is great, it is as good today as when it came out of the box. Solid construction.
