4 out of 5 stars Love the lens - hate the tax   October 7, 2008
H. Parent (ROK)
The lens meets my expectations. I'm disappointed with picture quality at 300mm, blurry - definately need a tripod.
I'm angry about an added charge for New York sales tax. I'm not a resident of NY. Amazon wouldn't ship the item to an APO address (which our federal government declares must be viewed as a US address); so I had it delivered to a family member in NY, then forwarded to me. I was shocked to see the previously undisclosed charge added to my bill.



5 out of 5 stars solid lens so far   September 30, 2008
D in Vt. (Vermont)
Having only used the lens for a few weeks, I have not had that many opportunities to see limitations, but overall the lens seems to do all that I could have asked of it. The autofocus seems to be very fast and accurate. It is not a "l" series lens, but for the price and the focal length, it is able to capture action frames as fast as the Rebel xsi it is mounted on will cycle. I am very pleased with the performance of this lens so far and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an affordable way to outfit their digital SLR.


5 out of 5 stars Canon EF 70-300mm   September 15, 2008
Mrs. Stacee Spoerl (Grayslake, IL)
This lens is outstanding. I am a rookie mom taking football pictures for my freshman son's games and the photos I have been able to get are great. I am in the stands and my pictures look like I am right next to the players. I can see their eyes in some photos.

I bought my camera at Best Buy but found that Amazon had the best price for lens and memory cards

Great lens package.



5 out of 5 stars Love this lens   September 8, 2008
Teresa M. Moorman (Southern Indiana)
This is my first dSLR camera, so I do not have much experience with other lenses. I can tell you every shot I take looks great, well, as great as the operators abilities! I have captured some wonderful shots of birds from across my yard, the details remain clear even if I crop them in futher later.


4 out of 5 stars WAY too expensive, but...   September 8, 2008
Deanna (Benton, Louisiana)
WAAAAY too expensive (they all are though) but it gets the job done. A decent lens, but it's definitely NOT an "all-in-one"... you'll need others to get the job done. The low and high ends are pretty much useless, but the mid-range is good.
