Great lens for the price.

I bought this lens years ago, but don't have the need to use it much. Reading reviews about poor focus at 300mm, I thought I would take a couple of shots. I shot this photo of a cedar fence at 20 ft at 300mm. I thought the IQ was very acceptable for this price lens.

For private use WOW!

Well I have tried the lens out today after getting receipt this morning. Not for professional use perhaps but with image stabilisation and compact size. Great for zooming in on subjects and even good with macro use. Does what I need for now.

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 USM L IS - APS-C Format Review / Lab Test

Excellent Lens and zooms further than expected

Bought this lens to go on a Canon Eos 200D DSLR Camera. It is fast to focus and has a good zoom range (maybe not as far as others). The photos come out crisp and clear. Even though the lens does feel heavy, when you have it attached to your camera I didn't really notice it.

zoom

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'm very happy that I did

I returned mine and got a higher-quality older lens off of eBay. I'm very happy that I did. This lens isn't very sharp at all but will fit the bill if you just need a lens and aren't too picky about the image quality.
