Haven't had a chance to use the lens yet. Bought for my trip to Hawaii in October.
Fun to use. Low cost too. Bud from Bellingham WA
This was a present for my fiance. He absolutely loves it and it takes great pics. I am very glad he is pleased with it and so am I.
The 75-300 mm telephoto lens has worked well for the pictures (not many) I have taken so far. I had to learn when to use it the best way possible. It wasn't hard to do.
I love having the freedom to zoom in on distant objects. I noticed the worst sharpening at 300mm wide open.
I use it on my Digital Rebel XT and it seems to do a pretty good job as a entry-level zoom lens. I've been testing the lens out for about a month and I have essentially the same conclusions as everyone else: the autofocus is rather slow and clunky but I am still able to nail birds flying past me.
I'm a serious amateur photographer who recently recieved the lens as a christmas present this year. Even under the most ideal conditions at 250 mm, f/32 using a tripod, mirror lockup and the self timer with no filter, the picture is not sharp and I believe this is dispersion of the lens glass.
The lens is rather slow at f/4 but I've taken some great shots at ISO 100 and ISO 200 by hand with it at 300 mm. I will say, I shoot in RAW and inspect all of my photographs at 100% zoom during processing, I can tell you that the optics of the produce a non-sharp image and tends to have chromatic abberation especially in high contrast regions.
However, the lens produces excellent contrast and the overall image quality is great. So it doesn't perform as well as a professional lense but as a amateur, I'm happy to have this zoom lens to complement my Rebel XT system.
