Review on Optimized Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Hiral Gupta ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend.

I bought it to expand the focal length, planning to use it from time to time. A couple of days of intensive shooting showed a simple fact: this lens is a workhorse that requires skillful handling. If your hands are shaking, if you set long exposures without a tripod and shoot in the sun, you will get blur and chromaticity. If there is a desire to learn how to shoot clearly, if your hands do not tremble and you know how to catch light, the lens will pleasantly surprise you. He is definitely at the top of his class.

Pros
  • Pretty good picture quality. Tight focus ring, spinning confidently and clearly. Focusing at long distances is stable even without a stabilizer - the right weight helps to keep it sharp. I rarely rub. Large range of focal lengths. HA do not appear often. Iron bayonet. And all this at a great price.
Cons
  • Some play at the front. HA on long-range focal lengths in the sun (visible only with crop). Washes, nevertheless, quite a lot. Weak aperture, but these are the features of this class. At night or in low light, steady hands and high ISO are needed. Still, I would not refuse a stabilizer, but these are the costs of the price category.
