A great lens for the money. I am shooting pictures of 2 sons competitive soccer games for their respective teams. Posting pictures on line for the teams. We are getting great reviews by all who see them. Great clarity on distant shots.
Great value....great lens! [Posted on 2008-09-30]
You can't beat the price. My dad bought the same lens about a year ago, and he paid almost twice the price! There was absolutely nothing wrong with this lens. It was identical to the one my dad bought at Best Buy. I highly recommend it!
Love it! [Posted on 2008-10-02]
I love, love, love this lens. It's a bit long so it's not ideal for a walk around lens...but MAN, oh man does it capture some amazing shots. I first tried it out on a windy day at the lake with my nieces and nephews and caught some absolutely amazing shots. The clarity of the images even at full zoom is incredible, and don't even get me started on the bokeh! It is just a wonderful lens...now if Canon would only make it a bit more squat, it would be perfect!!

I don't understand people who give this lens a low-rating and compare it to other telephoto lenses that cost $3000 and up. There's no comparison at all. For under $200, its a quality item. Just be aware that its a $200 lens and you get what you pay for. The glass is clear and the action is firm and smooth. When attached to my XSi hanging around my neck, the lens doesn't slide out to full extension like other telephotos I've used -- thats what I mean when I say the action is firm. By smooth, I mean it doesn't hang up, stutter or slip mid-zoom. At 300mm, you will need a very steady hand or a tripod. Also, don't make the mistake of thinking this is a macro lens. You will not be able to focus on near objects with this lens. If you're an amateur or beginner and need some quality range on a shoestring, its worth a try. If you're like me and do alot of outdoors shooting and don't want to worry about banging up expensive glass, then this is a must-have. For $200, I'll take this lens anywhere with no fear of breaking an expensive accessory.
I'll try to post some objective pictures showing the range and quality of the lens. Most of the pictures I saw posted didn't really give a good idea of what to expect. Instead people posted pictures of their kitty-cats, kids or flowers, as if thats helpful in making a buying decision...
My first telephoto lens [Posted on 2008-12-12]
I just bought my first SLR and quickly realized that I needed a telephoto lens for the type of pictures I want to take. I didn't want to spend a large amount of money on a practice lens and the price for this one was perfect. It's a really decent lens for the price. A tripod is a must when using the maximum zoom (perhaps that is the case with all telephoto lenses?). So far, I've taken some really nice shots with this lens. Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase.
