Amazon.com Product Description
This compact and lightweight EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens is ideal for shooting sports, portraits, and wildlife. The lens is distinguished by a newly developed micro ultra-sonic monitor (USM) that makes autofocusing quicker and quieter, along with an improved zoom mechanism that includes a silver ring on the front for a luxurious touch. The micro USM makes this version of the lens particularly suitable for applications that require a fast autofocus, such as sporting events or wildlife shoots. Best of all, the USM version shares many of the same features that makes the non-USM lens so popular, such as a compact size, a close focusing range, and accessory compatibility. As with all Canon lenses, this unit carries a one-year warranty.

Good Value, poor sharpness........2007-12-15
For the price and range of this 75-300 zoom it probably cannot be beat, but don't expect to actually have consistently sharp photos when shooting at 300mm. The 4-5.6 aperture allows you to shoot handheld with decent sharpness in the daytime, however to really get a sharp image stopping down to f8 is needed and by then hand holding is only an option in very bright sun.
Auto focus is not perfect but generally finds the subject quick enough.
Lens has no zoom lock, so when the lens is facing downward, while photographing or just walking, the lens will extend due to gravity, which is kind of annoying.
The size and weight of lens is pretty small and light when considering a 300mm zoom.
All and all this lens was a very good purchase when I bought it 6 years ago for $130 on ebay. Although now after using a few Canon L lenses, I find myself not wanting to take this out of the bag because the sharpness is disappointing. However again it must be said, it is probably the cheapest way you can get a zoom of this range and still have usable images.
Long Focal Length on the Cheap.......2007-12-07
Go this along with my Rebel XTi 18-55 kit. Not bad. Great lens for action, sports, or wildlife. You can also create great depth with this one. Wish the aperture would open up to 3 at least. I shot hockey for an assignment and really had a tough time, I got my shots, but I could've gotten more with a larger ap. Will upgrade on this in the next couple years. They make a 70-300 USM with IS that I will replace this with eventually, but for right now, this is nice to have in my case, just in. . . case.
First Impression.......2007-11-22
I was expecting the images taken at a distance to be a bit fuzzy around the edges but have been pleasantly surprised. The construction seems to be sturdy enough.
Nice daytime lens.......2007-11-22
Nice affordable lense in adequate lighting or with a good strong flash. Fast silent auto-focus.
Awesome lens!.......2007-11-12
I had been looking for a zoom lens that would fit my budget. And after reading the reviews of this lens, I went in for the plunge. And this is an awesome lens! Sure, you will need a tripod when you zoom in at 300, but almost every shot I've taken that was below 300 came out great. One thing I didn't realize was how long the lens gets when you zoom, but it doesn't really bother me. It does what I want it to do and gets in close where I want it to be close....

Good Lens.......2007-12-12
I am satisfied with this lens w.r.t the price i have paid for this. $120 is very cheap. Agred, it does not have USM. But i am able to take some good photos with this lens. Though i haven't tried sports photography yet. I would recomend this lens to photography learners, and those does not want to pay more money for USM or IS functionality.
canon EF 75-300mm zoom.......2007-12-03
I have always been a "Canon" product lover. They have never let me down, including the Canon EF 75-300mm lens. My photos are crisp and clear. And there is no camera shake when you extend the lens. This has been a fun addition to my canon rebel XT camera. You will not be disappointed. I am still amazed at the length this lens sees. WOW
Great Lens for the Price!!! .......2007-11-13
I bought this lens (used) from adorama/via amazon (E+) for only $104.00. That's an
outstanding price! And when adorama.com says "excellent condition",
they mean it! This lens was in new/mint condition. I'll buy my next lens
from adorama without a doubt. I bought this lens to replace my 80-200
zoom for I wanted greater range. Many reviews state that at the high-end
this lens isn't quality. I beg to differ. I've taken many photos at
the 300mm setting (hand held) and seen crisp, clear and amazing results.
For the price, it's an outstanding lens. The build quality is greater
than my former 80-200mm because it seems more solid and has a metal
mount.
I give it a 4 out of 5 for sure. It's not the USM so it's slower to
focus. But I own other USM lenses and I can't tell a major difference.
That's why I opted to try this lens out. She's a keeper....
Perfect for amateurs.......2007-10-28
this lens is perfect for an amateur. It does the job for me... Great value.
Canon Lens.......2007-09-24
For the price this lens cannot be beaten, not for the professional but it is perfect for everything I needed.
