Exceptional!

I use this for long-distance and floral shots that I want a lot of detail. It works great for both uses. Easy to focus, lightweight compared to most, and easy to change.

Great pictures but mechanically cheaply

Have had a film Canon SLR for years. Just transitioned to digital. Lens seems cheaply
made. Not a smooth zoom.

        Comments about Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens:

        I used this lens to photograph flowers at a garden we visited. The lens kept creeping out and when I looked through the viewfinder, the image would be blurry. I would have to turn the lens back and then could focus the camera. Other than that I was pleased with it.

          Asked on 12/17/2009 by Jim

          1 answer

          • CUSTOMER CARE

            A:

            The EF 75-300 III is an excellent, and affordable, telephoto zoom lens. The other lens 40D users consider in the telephoto zoom category is the EF 75-300 IS. Although more expensive, the superior optics, build construction and the addition of the Image Stabilizer makes this a very popular choice for the 40D class of shooter.
