5 out of 5 stars solid lens so far   September 30, 2008
Having only used the lens for a few weeks, I have not had that many opportunities to see limitations, but overall the lens seems to do all that I could have asked of it. The autofocus seems to be very fast and accurate. It is not a "l" series lens, but for the price and the focal length, it is able to capture action frames as fast as the Rebel xsi it is mounted on will cycle. I am very pleased with the performance of this lens so far and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an affordable way to outfit their digital SLR.


5 out of 5 stars Canon EF 70-300mm   September 15, 2008
This lens is outstanding. I am a rookie mom taking football pictures for my freshman son's games and the photos I have been able to get are great. I am in the stands and my pictures look like I am right next to the players. I can see their eyes in some photos.

I bought my camera at Best Buy but found that Amazon had the best price for lens and memory cards

Great lens package.



5 out of 5 stars Love this lens   September 8, 2008
This is my first dSLR camera, so I do not have much experience with other lenses. I can tell you every shot I take looks great, well, as great as the operators abilities! I have captured some wonderful shots of birds from across my yard, the details remain clear even if I crop them in futher later.


4 out of 5 stars WAY too expensive, but...   September 8, 2008
WAAAAY too expensive (they all are though) but it gets the job done. A decent lens, but it's definitely NOT an "all-in-one"... you'll need others to get the job done. The low and high ends are pretty much useless, but the mid-range is good.


5 out of 5 stars Canon EF70-300mm F4-5.6 IS USM   September 7, 2008
Lens was all I had hoped for, performed great when just shooting hand held on solid land or when bobbing around in a kayak. Excellent wild-life and scenery shots under varying conditions and distances.
