Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III Lens

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III Lens

I purchased this lens as an addittion to the 18-55mm kit lens that comes with the Canon 300D. It complements the kit lens to give you a range that you can practice your creative arts with (expanding to big sunsets and most wildlife shots) and is a good price to start with.

More experienced photographers will want to save their cash for the EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM (or better), which is a fantastic lens, but almost 4x the price!

The EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 USM III is a bit soft at wide angle and is definately noticable at telephoto, being at the f/5.6 darker, slower side of the lens. For some shots (e.g. landscapes/sunsets/willing and "still" wildlife), using a tripod will yield the best results with this lens.

However, for all the amatures (including myself) that cannot (yet) justify the higher cost of Canon's superb L series lenses, this is a good starter addition that will at least allow you to capture moments and practice your compositon and camera use.
