Can I use a Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens wth this camera?

Thanks.

[matchewtrain12]

i have the 70-200mm f/4 lens and its super sharp.

although its not fast enough for weddings so defs get the 2.8(with if you can afford it , IS )lens

@ RyanTheTuber what would be the difference between the Hybrid and L series lense for the 70-200mm IS f/2.8 USM. Do you know... and i am also looking to get it and the 24-70l 2.8.. and do you know approximately when... lots of questions.. i know.. :)

i would very much appreciate you answer on this cause i have been seeing it around on youtube, Thanks

you talk like a terminator.. LOL...

[RyanTheTuber]

Why didn't you go with the L lens?:(

Your lens is pretty expensive :D

[enche94rich]

It is mainly because L lens are usually optimized for full frame camera. 17-55mm focal length is ideal for 40D. But I did have 70-200mm F4 L IS USM.

[whoppers1000]

How do you like your 70-200 f4 lens? Do you use it as a wedding lens or ...?

[enche94rich]

No, I use it for outdoor sports. The f4 is quite useless when you want to freeze motion in indoor / low light setting.

What I like about it is it is light and small compare to f/2.8 version, instantaneous auto focusing and IS works very well.

What I don't like is the whirling sound when IS is activated, F4 aperture, white finish.

[RyanTheTuber]

true true

but "most" of the L lenses cause vignette on FF Dslrs... the 1.6x of the 40D eliminates that vignette :D

btw, is your F4 really really that sharp? I heard it was like a "prime lens."

[enche94rich]

yes it is very sharp

[RyanTheTuber]

oh... I'm thinking of getting a second-hand 70-200mm L \m/ :DDDDDDDDDD

I researched about it on crop sensor cameras and they say it works well

[whoppers1000]

if you don't mind me jumping in, which lens would you two recommend for a Canon 50d: the Canon 70-200f2.8 IS or the Canon 70-200 f/4 lens? I mostly shoot weddings (part time of course) Curretly I have two very old lenses that I still use and need to upgrade. any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Oh, I'm also leaning toward a Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 for group shots and all around lens.

[RyanTheTuber]

Have you considered the 24-70mm f/2.8L USM?

Remember, the 70-200 series require you to be about 1 foot away from your subject but for the 24-70, it's significantly shorter

BUT, if I were to choose between the two, I would choose the f/2.8L

BUT BUT, a new 70-200mm HYBRID-IS f/2.8 USM will come out later this year, you should wait xD

oh oh, since your shooting wedding events, I would recommend shorter focal lengths because of the fact that wedding ceremonies are usually cramped.

[whoppers1000]

thanks alot man. I really appreciate your response and help in this matter. Thanks again.

[RyanTheTuber]

no prob, you should search and read reviews of lenses to see if you really want them. You see, I'm just a shutterbug who coincedentally knows the lenses you want(because I also want them. LOL)

[enche94rich]

yes it works prefectly.

[enche94rich]

no that is not the kit lens.

[nl1098]

is that the kit lens?

[treeelee]

thanks!
