Perfect for starters. Learn to work with speed and stability of the lens. And able to learn the proper application in fucosing the subject of the picture.

could not afford a genuine model but this one does the job required. Travelling to USA in March and cannot wait to use on our trip.

The lens is a bit more telephoto than I need for close-range, but I bought it in a pinch - my regular lens was in the repair shop. I was very impressed with the deep rich colors and high-definition of my pictures, delivering an end product my old lens couldn't even come close to.

Brilliant colors; Sharp Focus

No Wide Angle

The EF 75-300mm III is Canon's most affordable telephoto zoom, and as an EF model it's also compatible with both cropped and full-frame bodies, although its low price means it's best-suited to entry-level cameras.

Really good product, with highly applauding performance. Image quality is simply awesome. 5 stars for that.

Great for Beginners & intermediates, If your looking for a Telephoto lens then you've realized you want more from your camera. As long as you know how to hold your camera with a telephoto lens this is the one you want.

easy to use for crisp pics at a distance

When I bought my Canon 1100D DSLR camera it came as part of a package with a camera case and two lenses. One of the lenses was this Canon 75mm-300mm zoom lens. ~ Price ~ This lens costs ￡108.01 from Amazon.co.uk or ￡76.89 reduced from ￡110.95 from Play.com.

good quality results; good to experiment with

bulky and heavy; not as versatile as other lenses

I've purchased two of these new. Both autofocus systems failed after the warranty expired. I've had multiple other Canon lenses for numerous years and have NEVER had a problem. However, this 75-300 lense certainly seems to be an inferior product. Don't waste your money on this one.

Easily Interchangeable

Blurry Focus; Poor in Low Light

Good solid performer at low cost.
