 Brilliant starter! August 2, 2010

Excellent lens, bought it in addition to the lens that comes with the Canon 1000D there's a small gap between 18-55mm and the 75-300mm but it fills it very nicely. Brilliant lens for somebody who's just started in photography and it'll last you a long time until you want a better one. It fits the lens hood I bought for it which i was happy about as i did not know wether it would fit. I think the lens would be a great choice for the EOS range of Canon's. It's very light for what it is, so you don't need to worry too much about a tripod just because it's too heavy although a tripod may be useful at the times when you're *waiting* for a shot and your arm starts to ache. Overall, i think it's a nice lens to get, i definitely recommend it.
which version of the lens? February 23, 2010

There seems to be a few listing for this lens on amazon (at least 4!). It is not clear if this one is USM or not as there is two versions of this lens. The one at this link is definitively USM: Canon EF 75-300mm F/4.0-5.6 USM III Telephoto Zoom Lens. It makes a huge difference for the autofocus function.
Almost as Good as a Tokina 80-400mm Lens! February 4, 2010

I bought my Canon EF 75-300mm f4.0-5.6 III lens from an Amazon seller late last year. Used it on my Canon 1000D to take many photos of just about everything. It is surprisingly good. Yes it does "hunt" for focus in poor light (but so my much more expensive Tokina 400mm lens!). The lens isn't image stabilised (neither is the Tokina). My example has a nice smooth zooming action, and manual/auto focus. There is no focus lock on the barrel, so the lens does tend to "creep" open to it's full extent when being carried. It is a nice lightweight lens. I can carry the Canon all day with this lens fitted and hardly notice it. Photos with the Canon lens are crisp, with great colour rendition. I have not noticed any chromatic abberations yet. I find it takes clearest photos when at f8 to f16 range. (in otherwords, in summertime!). I will try and post some examples with this review. For the money, it is great value - and being a Canon lens, it is of good quality.
Regards,
Phil Edwards.

Good budget lens. You must use a tripod at night to get an average photo out of it. The auto-focus is a bit slow however I would recomment if you were on a budget.
Good but not great February 3, 2009

It's exactly what it says on the tin.
It's cheap, and has a good focal range.
You're probably looking at this lens instead of the IS version on the grounds of price. If you can afford it I would go with the IS version.
The standard focus doesn't exactly lend itself to wildlife photography.
But hey the price is fantastic!
