5 out of 5 stars Great wildlife lens!   November 19, 2008
putalittleloveinyourheart (Minnesota)
I have had this lens for over 7 years. I have used it with the Canon Rebel G, and will be shortly switching to the Xsi. This lens has a great zoom, and in good, outdoor lighting takes amazing, crystal clear, colorful shots. I shoot mainly wildlife. The detail impresses me everytime I get a shot back. This lens has made me love photography, and constantly strive to be better. I do not use this lens in indoor or low light situations. While I have never used a much higher end lens, I am very happy with this one.


2 out of 5 stars not what I expected   November 15, 2008
Manuela Keggenhoff (BC, Canada)
I worked with this lense for about six month now and must admit, its not the quality I would expect from canon. its hard to get sharp pictures as soon as you try to photograph moving objects. pets, kids, outside flowers in the slightest wind, aso ... no chance to get satisfying results.
my EF 75-300mm-lense will soon change its owner - and a new lense with IS will be part of my gear.



5 out of 5 stars Love it!!   November 12, 2008

It is a little slow to focus but thats all. I have had NO problems with softness.


4 out of 5 stars A little slow, but worth the money   November 11, 2008
Meaghan (Illinois, USA)
I purchased this lens with my minimalist budget in mind, and I must say that for the money, it isn't too bad. It lacks a fancy focus motor (i.e. USM), which makes it a bit slow and noisy, but you can't find a more inexpensive long distance telephoto lens. It is perfect for the amateur photographer without a lot of money.


4 out of 5 stars Canon EF 75-33mm   October 30, 2008

I am ajusting and learning how to use this lens and where to use it. For example I wish I would have known to purchase a flash with this lens especially for night time use! This is my inexperience. Because of my inexperience I can not rate this lens appropriately at this time. The pics that I have taken (not at night) are awesome and I am enjoying the learning process.
