Ideal zoom

I bought this for a Canon EOS 750D and is a great compromise over buying separate lenses. It's not too heavy and has a lock to prevent movement when pointing up or down. Initial results are excellent and I'm looking forward to testing more of its features.

Top quality zoom

Superb lens enabling you to take quality, pin-sharp close-ups from long distances. The image stabiliser is very effective too. The only drawback is the relatively small aperture but that's only a problem if you're photographing in low light or indoors, and even then the quality of the images remains...

Happy I purchased the lens

I've used the product to photograph landscape and some wildlife. The Canon 70-300L works very well on both my Canon 5D2 and my Canon 50D. the only problem is that you can't zoom with the lens shade reversed.
Pros:
  • Quaility product
  • Fast focusing
Cons:
  • Too expensive
  • Heavy

Canon -EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6

The image shown is of Canon -EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L lens and not Canon -EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 so don't be confused like i was when i received the lens.Its a bit heavy using a tripod would b good and the lens becomes useless in low-light. Over-all its a good lens for a beginner with a good zoom.

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 USM L IS - Full Format Review / Test Report

The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 USM L IS delivers high quality results throughout the zoom range but especially at 70mm. At 300mm it is clearly better than its in-house cousins (EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 USM IS & EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM DO IS) reaching very good to excellent center results combined very...

Disappointed

I bought this lens on sale, other wise I would not have purchased it. I take pics of birds and my results with this lens were disappointing at best. I was previously using a 55-250mm IS ll at half the cost and the results were spectacular by comparison.
