Canon 2577A003

Pros: Super sharp, Fast focus, great zoom range.

Cons: Heavy

The Bottom Line: Buy it. Yes, it's an investment- But it's quality optical equipment, and it'll last you forever if you take care of it

Review: Typical of 'L' series lenses- this is a great, super sharp lens that is HIGHLY recommended! I have never used a better piece of equipment.

I shoot wildlife- Birds for the most part. I like to shoot handheld, because I get a lot of...

Pros: Good lens glass wise.

Cons: Heavy, draws lot of battery power.

The Bottom Line: If you are dedicated wildlife photographer and you have to have a zooml lens, look no further.

Review: I gathered some motivation to write a review since I used a long time ago when I was in the "film" world of cameras. This is one top gun from Canon stable that a lot of pro photographers adore over the years. However my experience was a little...

Pros: Great image quality, powerful zoom, image stabilization

Cons: Cost, auto-focus anomalies, push-pull zoom

The Bottom Line: It's a great lens for outdoor zoom action photography, with powerful zoom and great image quality

Review: I bought this lens after using Canon's EF f3.5-5.6L 28-300mm IS USM lens because I felt I needed a bit more "oomph" to get the shots I wanted. I used it at one airshow, and the results showed it's strengths in this area. It was also significantly...

Pros: Clear, sharp pictures, easy to work.

Cons: Heavier lens.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this lens to anyone who is serious about photography that requires keeping a distance (for me that's wildlife). It's well worth the investment.

Review: Years ago I had built up quite the Minolta collection - complete with a 100mm-400mm lens that I loved. Alas, the age of digital came upon us and I was forced to switch over. Given the cost of that, the zoom lens I went with for years was the Tamron...

Pros: Rugged, good zoom range, great quality optics, hefty weight for added stability at higher magnifications.

Cons: A bit pricey for the low budget crowd ( me ).

The Bottom Line: If you want top quality, expect to pay for it. This lens IS top quality and rugged. Definitely for me, a keeper.

Review: I've been using this lens almost daily for nearly 2 months now and I am liking it very much. I was a bit put off at first by the push-pull zoom until I discovered its great benefit for those times where you need a quick offhand shot in conditions...

Pros: WHAT A GREAT COMBINATION

Cons: NONE

Review: I HAVE A CANON 20D AND HAD THE 75-300 LENS, HARD TO HOLD STILL WITH THE LIGHTER LENS, BUT WITH THE HEAVY LENS AND THE SUPER IMAGE STABILIZER, WOW DON'T HAVE TO USE THE TRIPOD ALL THE TIME NOW,, AND THE SHARP IMAGES, WHAT A TEAM
I HAVE PARKINSON...

Pros: Superb picture quality,quick autofocus,solid construction.

Cons: Heavy/Expensive/initially intimidating.

Review: My first excursion into a seriously expensive lens and I am overjoyed at the results.
Have today just taken delivery of the Canon2x convertor and although this does not allow autofocus you have to
see the results to believe them.
I...

Pros: Typical "L" quality standards, and a very usable focal length. Great for cropped frame bodies.

Cons: Dated design, lack of weather sealing, heavy, and expensive.

The Bottom Line:

This is a great speacialized lens for the landscape/wildlife photographer, and is likely to be very good for the sports photographer as well.

Review: Canon is known for their world class "L" Series optics, and the reputation is well deserved. In fact, it was that red line on the end of the lenses that drove me to choose Canon over Nikon. My initial purchase included three "L" Series lenses...
