I am a armature and bought this lens to complement the kit lens on my T3, great lens, great price, I am very pleased with the results of the pictures using this lens. I didn't go with the 70-300mm because the price with the IS was out of my budget, this was a great compromise.

Great lens.

I bought this lens a month ago and have used it at a few live events, very impressed with the results, even without a tripod. The auto-focus is quiet too. Great lens.

A great wee lens

Bought this as a "starter" lens with my new Canon 7D Mk2 and have not been disappointed. Allows me to learn with the camera and I have been surprised with the image quality. Got it with £20 refund from Canon and as such, its a snip.

Best bang for your buck

Very happy with this lens so far. The image stabilization (IS) truly separates it from the other economical options out there.

I did buy it again!

I had a 55-250 a year ago, and also had a 70-300. I decided to sell the 55-250 thinking the 70-300 would satisfy my desire for a bit more reach without sacrificing image quality. After all, the 70-300 was more substantial in size, build, and weight, and the IS was nothing short of amazing.
