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...

- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Easy to get the hang of

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

Excellent Lens for Cash Strapped Semi-Pros
This is an excellent mid level zoom lens for the enthusiast or cash strapped semi-professional who needs a decent zoom lens. I bought mine through Amazon Warehouse Deals in Like New condition for about half price, so I did really well price wise.

Good for the money.
The lens works very good when you have good light. On lower light you'll see some of the sharpness fade, its good for bright light and can't beat the price of the L lens.

Good lens
This user earned $10.00 in rewards for writing this review. Learn More Does what I need it to do..great pics. Paid a bit more than I expected, but all in all I would do it again because being able to get a good lens with the Overstock card I can take better family and friends photos.

Candids of grandchildren, or anyone in fact. Easy to carry around on Canon 5d mk 4, even though a bit weighty! Well balanced. Excellent and consistent results. Would buy from Wex again, no problem.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Quick Focus

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...

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
