Great Lens!
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.

It's just a joy to use, and very sharp. It's also a significant step up from the Tamron 70-300 VC, you'll have no worries shooting wide open at 300mm with this one! Perfect on APS-C. Also, do not underestimate how important portability is, it's very compact at 70mm.
Pros:
- Sharp throughout zoom range at f5.6, colour and contrast fantastic
- Auto focus is amazingly fast, IS is superb
- Very compact, not overly heavy
- Metal filter threads
- Zoom lock means hood can be stored in reverse orientation and still removed without zooming the lens out
Cons:
- None, well, maybe price
- The relatively slow aperture and extension on zooming are not cons, in lens terms they are necessary design compromises to make it the size, weight and focal length range it is

An affordable alternative.
This is definitely a high quality lens, not as slow as it says on paper, image quality maintains high even at max zoom with lots of details. Unless you are shooting high speed events, I see no need for L lenses, this will work for me just fine, I mean, more than just fine!

Great lens and price
When I purchased my 7D, I also picked this lens up for some wildlife and nature photography. With the cropped sensor, 300mm is close enough for animals that don't want to eat you... I'm impressed. Images are pretty sharp and colorful.
Pros:
- Image stabilized
- Superior build quality
- Super-sharp images
Cons:
- Slow Auto-Focus

Canon 70mm-100mm zoom lens
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.

Versatile lens, Great for wildlife shots
I was looking for a lens that could take shots of wildlife from a distance. This lens certainly fits the bill and the IS helps in low light. I was also looking at the 100-400mm lens but the negative comments about its barrel focusing system pushed me towards this one.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy
- Poor in Low Light

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM
I have used this lens extensively over the past several years with 5D2 and 5D3 bodies. I am always amazed of the speed to focus and the beautiful image quality. It is a class act and fully lives up to it "L" pedigree. The only very minor negative is its weight which is slightly heavy.
Pros:
- excellent image quality
- fast focus on a 5D3
- built like a tank
Cons:
- slightly heavy

Canon 70-300 L IS
The worlds best 70-300. This lens is amazing and will not let you down. Perfect for full frame or crop sensor Canon DSLRs. Great focal range for field sports such as rugby, soccer etc. The AF and stabilizer are awesome.

Nice Zoom Lens
The Canon 70-300mm zoom lens is a good lens. It works as it's advertised to. Canon quality can't be beat. It's light enough so you don't get tired carrying it around all day. I highly recommend it.
