[MrSuperInsane]

london drugs is always a rip off

[cugglester]

great video,thanks alot for the link!!

[DMPhotography1995]

The kit lens(18-55mm) is not "dinky", its a great lens for macro also, and if 240$ is half off of what u paid for that lens, u deffinitley got ripped off, i got the same lens when i bought my dslr and i only paid 200$

[Mo3run]

Is this lens fast (af) ?

Pleas answer thanks

[keyslot24]

this lens or 55-250mm??

[smildonfatalis1]

Is it good for wildlife?

[DavidC959]

I'm thinking about buying my first DSLR and at Jessops they are doing a deal where you get the Canon 450D, 18-55mm lens and this lens all for £549. Normally it would cost you £749 and the deal saves you £200 but I don't know whether to go for it or not, do you have any suggestions?

[buddha36543]

the 18-55 mm isnt an amazing lens but its not dinky...

[LilSharpie1]

Is this lesn ideal for taking photos of motorsport ie. MOTO GP or F1 or NASCAR?

[MrAnto24]

Yea gona get 1 of those lens soon.Nice video.Thanks.

[MrStudMuffin]

Would this lens be good for modeling photoshoots and taking pictures at night clubs? If not what lens do you recommend? Thanks

[baymagic]

Ideal for shooting sports, portraits, and wildlife.

[Tinewashere]

could this work for bird photography? :)

[bradleybradwell]

@Tinewashere I really don't think that this lens would be good for bird photography.

[Tinewashere]

why not?

[bradleybradwell]

@Tinewashere Well, it depends what you plan on doing. Are you taking the photos just for the sake of taking photos. Or, are you a serious photographer that plans on using them. It really depends, this lens is good for the average consumer not looking for anything spectacular, not for a serious photographer.

[amdphenomIIx3]

Do you live in Vancouver Brad? I'm looking for a store who sells used canon ef lenses.

Great review btw.

[joshaustinelijah]

Would that lens also be useful for super up close shots like macro work?

[bradleybradwell]

@joshaustinelijah no, it wouldn't work correctly.

[Oscar3dM]

looks like you have the IS 18-55. I wouldn't exactly call that dinky

[iamaflyingsquirrel]

on BHphoto its $160

[wickedawesome66]

@iamaflyingsquirrel o thanks man. great site

[OrangeMusic34]

I have been using this lens for months now. I do not shoot sports but some wildlife. It seems to do ok and most of all i like the idea that i can upgrade my body with this lens. The 18-55 mm is not a POS. Its just as usefull or more usefull then the 300. those the kit gives you the ef-s not ef. anyways I have been happy with this 75-300 ef 1:4-5.6 III.

[kuraikure]

Dude, this is a great lens, though large in appearance it is light weight, and has always given me crisp images. It is almost as great as the L Series and our tanks the Omni Series. But this lens was not intended for sports... the F/ is to slow. I also suggest a better body (no offense to any 450D or Rebble/Xs/Xsi users) so you could take full advantage of the Full Frame Sensor with this Lens. Anyway, nice choice!

[mixmaxdix]

" It is almost as great as the L Series" no it isn´t. It has nothing to do with a L series lens. i have a 70 200 f2,8 is L and it is just a looooooooooot better,faster, and it is a L lens. If you have a full frame camera, you wouldn't like to use the slow poor image quality 70 300 f4 5,6....

You will be much much happier with a 70 200 f4 l...

[kuraikure]

dude i said "almost" i didn't say it was like. Also I have your 70-200 f/2.8 L series and yes i prefer my L series to my other lenses. Either way... back to the topic I actually get great images out of the 75-300 f/4-5.6...

[mixmaxdix]

mINE is IS version...anyway

if i don´t have the 70 200 i would take great images with a 70 300, but not as great as if was taken by the 70200f2,8is.

;D

[GhostFerret3000]

this is not a fast lens , and it is not for sports , so if you intended to get some good sports glass , dont get this lens.

[newiphone3g]

can this lens fit on a nikon d60?

[wolfpaws94]

it's Canon..

[faloc]

Of course not...

[MookilL99]

no since it is a canon series lense you will have to use a nikon/nikkor lense because the mount used to hold the lense on is manufacturer specific unless you buy a third party lens

[newiphone3g]

thanks ended up going with sigma 75-300mm

[newiphone3g]

thanks for the help

[GhostFerret3000]

Are you stupid?

[newiphone3g]

no im just learning about dslr's

[IntensePizza]

No Nikon lenses are NOT compatible with canon's.

[RedSpectrumPictures]

@IntensePizza they are with adapters my friend

[canonguy1000]

finally a good review on this lense!!! THANK YOU!!!
