★★★★★  Camera Lens Quality Review
Date posted : Saturday, Oct 19 2019

I personally do a bit of school photography as a freelance in college and this lens does wonders when I need to take pictures of athletes on the court I have used it indoor and outdoor and gotten some amazing results it just requires figuring out the proper distancing you need between the subject and catching focus. It's great for sports and I've enjoyed mine for almost a year now doing basketball, volleyball, soccer, and this year I will be working on baseball and swim. Overall review 10/10 for me so far this is my go to lens until I find a upgrade.

★★★★★  Great Lens for Mom to Take Pics of Her Son's First Little League Game
Date posted : Wednesday, Aug 28 2019

I am not a professional. I am just a mom. 99% of the photos I take are of my children. Before purchasing this lens, I only had the kit lens and one prime lens. I wanted a lens that would allow me to zoom in a bit so that I could snap photos of my children playing without having to be right up on them. This is the perfect lens for that. I shot my son's first Little League game this past weekend while I was in the stands and he was in the outfield. I got some of the most excellent shots showing his true emotions, because he wasn't posing. he didn't see me right up on him taking photos. I can't afford a $1,000-2,000 lens so this was the perfect price and I have gotten tons of compliments on the shots. I even shot most of them on manual using the sports setting (I have a Canon Rebel). A lot of them were taken through a little hole in the fence.

★★★★★  Great as a step up from the 18-55mm "kit lens"
Date posted : Monday, Jun 24 2019

I bought this lens used with the intent of using it my school's sporting events. Without IS (image stabilization) the pictures come out blurry under certain circumstances, this annoys me but I have compensated. The zoom on the other hand is amazing, and what pictures that do come out look stunning. If you plan on using this lens for sports please consider the lens that is a step up which is the Canon EF 75-300MM F4-5.6 III (IS) Telephoto zoom lens. That lens includes the Image Stabilizer I mentioned earlier. If you plan on using this in full sun or with flash then this is a great lens. I will probably end up using my tripod instead of investing in another lens, because under other conditions this lens rocks!

★★★★★  Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Date posted : Wednesday, Jun 19 2019

This was an open box item from discovery japan Warehouse Deals. I've bought items with a used status from discovery japan Warehouse before and took a chance on this. Lens works perfectly, they repacked it well and I'm happy that I took the chance. 80% off other advertised prices, can' t beat the price.

★★★★★  Value
Date posted : Saturday, Jun 15 2019

First off I'm going to say that I bought this lens used for $100. I read plenty of reviews and most of them talked about how the amount of sharpness gets really low when you get around 300mm. This is true. From my testing, 75-200mm seems to be the sweet spots for this lens. I shot a few pictures out in the woods at 75mm f/4 of my Dad and the bokeh was pretty awesome. I also shot some pictures of birds at 300mm and it's just very unsharp the second you crop. The only way I've found to get good bird shots is to be really close to them. This is very difficult unless you're at a popular park where the birds are fairly used to humans. Here is a picture I took at 300mm and is only very slightly cropped [...] I was only a few feet from this bird. As you can see it's a sharp image due to VERY minimal cropping. It is difficult to fill the frame with these little birds let alone get close to them. Here is another bird at the same exact place [...] This was shot at 155mm, it was at Clingman's Dome in Gatlinburg which is a very popular place which makes these birds fairly used to humans. I put down some nuts right next to myself and it walked right up and took them and that's how I got this picture.Pros and ConsPros:Takes great portraits at 75mmVery inexpensive for what it isFairly well built for the priceCons:You lose almost all sharpness once you crop above 250mmThe zooming is not very smoothOverall, who would I recommend this to?I would recommend this to any beginner photographer who wants to take pictures of their family or friends that may also enjoying wildlife photography. This would also be a great lens for someone who doesn't really care much about photography but wants a nice zoom lens to sit on their porch and take pictures of wildlife from far away (birds, deer, etc)TL;DR: Overall great value, absolutely worth the buy.

★★★★★  Great for the Money
Date posted : Saturday, Mar 30 2019

I've been using my 75-300 for a couple years now and have had zero problems with it. I shoot for newspapers, so my equipment gets a real workout under (sometimes) lousy conditions. I shoot in the rain, snow, dust, smoke (when I'm covering fires) and pretty much every weather imaginable. This lens -- while not exactly on a par with some of those big, white monsters you see the sports journalists using -- is probably more than most casual shooters will ever need. And the price is certainly nice.
