We purchased as a gift for son

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.

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.

When looking for a quality lense for a name brand camera, as a hobby photographer, everything usually breaks down into two groups: Lenses intended for professional or career photographers that cost more than you are willing to pay. Specialty lenses that have a more limited use but fit your budget.

Fairly low light; retains all automatic functions

Large and moderately heavy

I use it for outdoor scenery, and have taken some great shots. It's a little slow to focus which at times makes me lose my shots.

Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Strong Construction

Blurry Focus; Slow Focus

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

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

This lens is like the 50mm 1.8--you need to have it in your case now and perhaps forever—until you have a lot more money, these are the lenses you're going to use all the time. The kit lens also falls into this category.

Inexpensive; Necessary; Useful

Blurry Focus; Poor in Low Light; Slow Focus

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

I bought this as a package deal with the Canon Rebel EOS T3 and, as part of the package, it is definitely worth the price.

I live next to the Fair Hill Nature Resource Area and take a lot of wildlife and landscape photos and have found this lens to be useful although, not perfect.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight

Slow Focus
