Review on Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens - Optimized for Canon EOS SLR Cameras by Kero Kero ᠌

In order to take photographs of birds, I use it in conjunction with a Canon 50D. Even when the weather is gloomy, between 70 and 220, it provides a very clear picture with colors that are pleasing to the eye. I take most of my pictures with a focal length of 300 millimeters, and this one works "by mood." At other times, the lather is rather robust, and the picture is occasionally very clear, with an excellent depiction of the bird's feather (even in poor light!). When I use the 50D's rate of fire, I shoot a lot of pictures, but only a few of them turn out sharp, even when I set the aperture to 5.6 (although it is preferable to use a narrower setting). At the very margins of the field of view, there is some chromatic aberration that can be seen. There were no occurrences of geometric aberrations detected. Unexpectedly gorgeous portraits can be created with this lens because of the lovely bokeh and the fact that the long end of the lens has a softer focus. The quality is excellent, even being hand-held at 300 millimeters with a shutter speed of 1/80, thanks to the fantastic stabilizer. Very quick to focus, and almost never makes a mistake. And there is a pretty pleasant hum coming from the stabilizer:) The fact that the lens in front of the camera can swivel is a given, but I find that it doesn't really bother me. A separate comment about the overall design, in spite of the fact that some people find fault with it, in my view, it is fairly satisfactory. The lock for the trunk is situated appropriately, directly beneath the index finger, and the pipe fits snugly in the palm of the hand. Therefore, when one sees a plastic trunk leaving, this situation gets a little unnerving, but it still needs to be handled with caution. Recently, the lens made it through a black grouse picture hunt in a field while it was raining; there is no dust yet, but it became apparent during the photo hunt itself that switching to 400mm would be excellent. This is correct, but only in the sense of a very remote "monetary" perspective:) In general, it unquestionably justifies its cost if you take into account amounts up to 20,000. The cost of televisions with a higher level of sophistication is significantly higher. Because it has such a good stabilizer, this board is fantastic for beginners. I would generally suggest it to beginning nature enthusiasts; however, I would warn them to be careful when using it for 300mm:)
