    With progressing age, my hold was not steady enough for the wildlife shots I wanted with a 300mm zoom lens. This Canon lens solved the problem. I am again getting great wildlife shots, and even some very good lunar pics.

    The lens takes crisp sharp pictures. It does make a slight noise for about 6 secs when focusing, particularly near/at 300mm

    We bought this lens as part of a package with the Canon EOS 70D with 18-135mm lens. This lens works really well. You need to understand this is NOT an L series lens so the quality of the pictures are not as sharp as the high dollar L lenses but still very good. The macro shooting is very good with it. The IS is great for very long shots. Do a google search for it and you can find much more detailed reviews of this lens but it's WELL WORTH IT! :)

    I enjoy taking picture of sporting events at high school and birding. The zoom 70-300 enables me to get close to the subject on the basketball court or a bird without interfering with the action or scaring the animal off. It is my go to lens for taking pictures in these 2 different types of settings.

    I really don't have much to compare this against, but I can say that the image quality with this lens and the Canon EOS 70D body is spectacular. Using the manual settings on the camera and this lens, I was able to capture a great photo of the moon. From about 30 feet away, I grabbed a picture of my cat with his tongue sticking out...I can see the veins and taste buds on his tongue in the photo. The only complaint I have is it is significantly slower than the lens that came with the camera but it still performs fast enough to capture my dog running full sprint across the yard.

    I tried a number of IS lenses. I wanted a lense that I could use for my sons foot ball games at night. This product delivered on every expectation I had set. I would recommend it to anyone.
