Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras

One of the best purchases I've made in awhile. Very glad I bought the Canon brand after seeing what a friend of mine went through with an off brand lens. You definitely get what you pay for.

Great lens. Before purchasing this lens, I did some homework. It costs more than some others but I am really glad I chose it. The quality of the photos is awesome. And, it is 100% compatible with my Canon digital - others aren't always completely compatible.

I bought this lens to add on to my Canon 40D package that I purchased. I absolutely LOVE this lens!!! However, I am new to the DSLR world so take my opinion for what its worth. :)

If you need to take a photo from far away, this is what you need. It is easy to use and the photos it takes are crystal clear. Excellent for getting the shot from a distance away. You can manually focus or put it on automatic focus and snap away. It is also has a stabilizer for taking fast photos that still remain clear. I have snapped several pictures from probably 50 feet away. They look like I am standing right next to the subject. I am very pleased with this product and feel it was worth the money. I researched for quite some time and found it for the best deal on here. There are other, cheaper telephoto lenses but this one really works.

The EF 70-300 IS USM is a superb lens. I'm using it for sports and birding. Crisp. Focuses fast enough for US soccer. Have only used it in daylight. Haven't tried under lights yet. Easily images the goal from the half. Highly recommend it as an affordable alternative to the L series lenses.
