Product Description
MODEL- 6472A003 VENDOR- CANON
FEATURES- EF 75300 f/4-5.6 III USM Lens
The most affordable of Canons long telephoto zooms, this lens is
excellent for subjects from portraits to wildlife and nature. It
shares the same 13-element optical system as the 75300mm USB lens,
but uses a DC motor for autofocus.
Close-focusing down to 4.9 feet (1.5m) allows filling the frame (at
300mm) with a subject the size of a dollar bill, and it is
compatible with the Canon 58mm Close-up Lens 500D for even more
spectacular shots of small objects.

 Only good if this is all you can afford August 22, 2010

I got this lens for free when I bought a Rebel XS. While getting a telephoto zoom lens was better than not having one, I really disliked this lens other than the price and extended range.
Pros:
- Greatly extended lens vs the xs' kit lens (18-55mm)
Cons:
- No Image Stabilization meant using a tripod, tree, table, etc. all of the time
- Very few shots were extremely sharp in less than ideal conditions (worked great on a sunny beach boardwalk and that's it)
- Not a lot of saturation or contrast in the image colors
If you are using one of the APS-C sensor Canon SLRs (Rebel Series), it's only +$70 to get the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras. In the world of SLR photography, $70 is nothing. You'll get IS, which will give you much better images (sharper, better colors, etc), and it's my guess that the lens optics are much better, too. The only downside of this lens is that you wouldn't be able to move it to one of the full frame SLRs in the future.
 LOVE LOVE LOVE! August 3, 2010

The canon 75 to 300 has to be on a tripod at extream zoom or picture blur,other then that top quality photos.
Great for nature photos where you can set up for the shot, love it.
highly recommended. Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

In desperate need of a lens for sports photography, the Canon EF 75-300 telephoto lens has been superb. I was missing so many good shots with a non-Canon lens because I guess it wasn't adaptable but this lens has made me forget those troubles in a hurry. Just a solid lens bought at a very reasonable price that's capable of bringing into focus a game's action like the way it was meant to be.

I know you get what you pay for, but for a $200 piece of glass I expected a little more. The max aperture of f/4.0 hasn't bothered me yet, but I haven't had the chance to put it to its fullest yet. I'm glad I bought this lens, but I wish lenses weren't so expensive because for a 16 year old I can't really afford the thousand dollar lenses. I definitely recommend the use of a monopod, or tripod because hand holding this on the 300 side is almost impossible to get a clear shot unless your shooting over 1/200 at Least. Plus at 300 it gets considerably darker because of the changing of the aperture to 5.6. Also if you focus on a subject at 75 then zoom to 300 the subject becomes blury which is really annoying if you're manual focusing.
