Canon 75-300mm Zoom Lens
I bought this lens as an alternative to the £500+ L series Canon lenses for my canon EOS 400D before going on holiday and it has been absolutely superb.
The foucs is admitably slow at times but this has not affected me too badly when shooting subjects inside and outside of doors. The lens itself is a nice weight (not too heavy but not too light/"plasticy") and fits nicely into my Lowerpro Slingshot 200 bag when attached to the camera body.
I spent months researching zoom lenses before finally buying this one and it has been a fantastic buy.
The minimum focusing range is quite high so you'lll have to stand quite a way away from your subject (which has meant me having to switch between this lense and my standard 17-55mm) but lets face it, you're not going to buy this lense for it's portrait-taking abilities. My tripod has been used very little alongside the lense because most of my shots have been taken in bright light (faster shutter speeds have been used) Although one would be useful during the winter months.
Be warned, if you want to avoid scratches on the lense itself, then a filter is a must-have (a lense cap is provided).
Images tend to get slightly soft at the extremities, but as long as there is sufficient light, your pictures will come out crisp and clear (I would post some on here if it were possible to prove my point!)
If you are looking for a cost-effective, reliable alternative and don't mind the slightly slower focusing then this is the lens for you.

Excellent Quality and Build
After searching for my first lense for my Canon EOS 400D i decided i wanted something cheap with a little bit of zoom, so i got this one, and to be fair it has excellent quality, i have taken several pics of my cat at 75mm and 300mm the lense maintains the sharpness throughout, despite reading several reviews saying its not sharp at all, the hairs on my cat show up in quality.

i reccomend this lense for anyone looking to take portrait pics and also people looking for long shots of wildlife, aircraft ect.

the build also has a sturdy design, feels excellent with the grip also weighs a fair but, not too heavy so this is also a positive for the lense.

it focuses fast, the only down side what i think will smooth out is when i zoom past 275mm it get a little sticky, should smooth out with wear though.

Cannon EF 75-300mm Zoom lens.
The Cannon 75-300mm lens was a nice surprise to me - I was looking for the best value for the money and found this lens does exactly what I expected.
Good value and quality as expected from Cannon and this fills a gap nicely.
