Just came back from the Chesapeake Bay area where I used this lens almost exclusively. (together with the canon5 Marklll The focus is fast, sharp as a tack, and never failed me. What impressed me the most is how true the colors remained even of the farthest objects.

I haven't had this lens long but have found it to be excellent. It is quite expensive so I gave it 4 stars for value. This is not a reflection of the quality but just the price. I did receive the money back from Canon quite fast this time in contrast to my previous experience.

Canon's lens range is already extensive and includes two 70-300mm models: the f/4-5.6 IS USM and f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM optics. The new Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM is one of the company's professional L-series models, in traditional off-white with the distinctive red ring around the front.

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.

Quaility product; Fast focusing

Too expensive; Heavy

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.

Love using this lens. It really has increased my overall use of my DSLR. I am able to take photos from a distance and really capture a natural shot since I don't have to be close to the object. Overall I am very happy with this lens. Would recommend to any starter using a DSLR.

Durable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Strong Construction

Heavy

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.

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!

Is it compatible for canon eos 1200d?

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.
