Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.5 - IS USM

Affordable elephoto zoom for cropped sensor. I mainly bought this for sports photography (football). The image stabalisation and zoom range work very well for sports. It's not an L lens, and it's not the fastest telephoto lens, but at about £500 is half the price of faster or L telephoto zooms, and the IS makes up for the aperture to some extent. The lens is good quality and I have been happy with the results. I would recommend it to others looking for an affordable (non-budget/non professional), good quality, versitile telephoto zoom. I also found it is good for landscapes.

Check the other lens reviews and you will see the L lenses. I sold this and some other non 's to pay for them!

I completely agree. the pictures are very soft, they do not pop at all. now I know why this lens is the price that it is. i'm not sure if you own an L lens, but if you have seen the L quality and you are still satisfied with this. Im not even sure what to say. step up to L glass when you get a chance, you'll see a huge jump in your sharpness

All the shown images taken with 70-300 IS are of poor quality. Not sharp, luck of detail and non-realistic colors. Same as about 3000 of my pictures. But I have thrown them all away and was going to do the same with my lens. Thanks for your bravity to show this picks, I now have a hope that somebody will by my lens.
