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.

Great Lens
I took this lens with me to the zoo. Took photos and video with it. Fantastic output. I read a ton of reviews and was reluctant to buy it. Lot of reviews stating blurry focus and bad bokeh. You have to know how to adjust the settings for this lens. My photos came out sharp.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy
- Lens Creep

Fun with Photos
We went to the Morton Arboretum near Chicago and "played" with the new lens. We are thrilled with it. First time out and we can't be happier, except for the weight and our own inexperience, the lens performed admirably. We also want to say that it is good for both outdoors and portrait shots.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Blurry Focus
- Heavy
- Slow Focus

Great glass!!
It is not my primary lens, and that is why it only got a 4star (my favourite lenses are always shorter - 50mm for example) but it still great glass. It does get a little heavy for continuous shooting, especially with the heavier camera bodies, but is perfect to shoot people with from a distance at...
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Easy to get the hang of
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Challenge to spot subject
- Heavy

Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM
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.

Nice lens
This lens has an auto and manual setting for focus adjustments and the adjustments give a good blur effect to the image, very nice lens indeed, very good to have this.
