CanonEOS EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM III Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Camera

Lens is good in performance but soften after 250mm...but its good for wildlife photography for beginner..Most of people are confused between 55-250 and 75-300 even I was in fix which lense to buy? then I decided to go for this lense.......as 75-300 doesn't have IS so its performance in night is not good..But with this lense you will get extra 50mm which realy makes difference.....

I am really happy with the lens, it's an addition to my kit. I'm just so satisfied with it, the picture quality, zooming capability etc. are up to the mark.

Good zoom lens so far for beginners

Excellent

nicely packaged and good deal

Super

Only recently i was in the market for a telephoto. And 75-300 and 55-250 were the only ones within my budget. By the look of things you get an extra 50mm ... translated to 80mm in a crop camera like my 500d... and you get it cheaper. While looking at both, the 75-300 even appears more rugged and smart. so why? yes!! IS (image stabiliztion). 55-250 comes with IS while 75-300 does not. Canon lenses are known (and rightly so) because of IS, and here we have one without it.Even then I went out to the store and had a look and feel. And I got the answer immidiately. Even while holding your breath I got blurry pics at 300mm while sharp ones at 250mm (other things being constant). so dont waste the 13k, spend another 3k and get the 55-250 instead. I assure you that you wont be able to carry a tripod everywhere and besides 50mm beyond 250mm wont make much of a difference. Also the pic from the 55-250 are quite sharp (sharper than the kit lens and in league with the 50mm 1.8 pics).

No IS (Image Stabalizer)... In a rush I didn't see it & now it's tough to click sharp objects unless using tripod or high shutter speed.
