Canon EF 75-300mm f4-5.6 III - Decent Starter Telephoto... But Not Much More Beyond That

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Canon EF 75-300mm f4-5.6 III is Canon's lowest-end telephoto kit lens. It will make true amateurs happy, but beyond that there are better options.
Review: As I was looking into getting a nice mid-range telephoto lens for myself, I borrowed a low-end Canon EF 75-300mm f4-5.6 III lens. This is the lowest-end variant of Canon's consumer level 75-300mm market. The version I used was the non-USM variant. I...

Great Lens for the Money

Date of Review:  Feb 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: This will improve your picture taking by helping to eliminate blurring caused by shaking. Buy this lens over any other zoom for your Canon.
Review: This lens is about the best you can do for the money without resorting to the heavy special glass professional lenses. It's bulky, but the Image Stabilization (IS) dramatically reduces blurryness due to shaking. It's worth lugging the extra weight...

Fair Value For The Price Range

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2006
Review: This is a good quality family use lens. If photographing the kids on a swing, or the pooch chasing a stick, or even the deer snacking in your garden - you can capture life happening! This is a good walk around every day lens.
At the 75mm range,...

Great consumer overall zoom lens.

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great overall consumer lens.
Review: IS is a great help in slightly lower light situations. The IS is not a replacement for a fast lens as 1/30 or 1/60th when zoomed out still blurs or causes shake.

I like this for a good, overall outdoor lens because it's small enough to fit...

Not Canon's best...but still a decent lens.

Date of Review:  Apr 22, 2004
Review: A couple of months ago, I bought a Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III lens for my Elan 7E to introduce myself to telephoto photography. Since then, I've taken hundreds of shots with this lens on both my Elan 7E and my Digital Rebel. (Don't forget to read my...

Bringing the Action Up Close

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2000
Review: After purchasing the original Canon EOS Rebel second-hand few years ago, I realized that the 35-80mm lens that came with the camera did not have enough magnification to bring auto racing actions up close. So I decided to start shopping for a zoom...

Canon 75-300 III USM: Inexpensive and handy!

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2000
Review: This lens was very cheap, and very nice addition to my gear. I bought the lens for a little under $200 through an internet retailer. The 75-300 range is very useful in many situations including close-ups and portraits.

I want to stress...

the inexpensive alternative

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2000
Review: The 75-300 does the job and that's all. It has no features that make you say WOW!

Construction: poor... It has a "cheap" feeling. The rings are not tight, so the controls are not precise. You can hear some pieces ratteling when you shake...

Canon Zoom Lens Perfect for Every Occasion ? Even Portraits

Date of Review:  Sep 7, 2000
Review: If you haven?t heard, I like to take pictures. Let me rephrase that. I?m hopelessly, utterly, pathetically obsessed with photography. The addiction began when I was just a small child, who stole my parents? camera and went hog-wild at the zoo. My...

Review: This lens had barely hit the "streets" when I first tried to buy it. Advance publicity had made it such a hot item that it was unavailable for weeks. By that time cooler, more sensible minds had convinced me I shouldn't purchase it. I bought a much...
