I'm no pro but this takes pictures like ones. If you paid a good chick for your camera then buy this quality zoom. The stabilization is great and am glad this has it. I have no complaints with this lens.

My new canon telephoto lens is a good quality for the price. It will bring the subjects in your view much closer to have the shot you are searching for. Easy to install and remove.

I have a 55-250 Canon lense. I bought the 70-300 thinking it would give better results. It was basiclly the same. It's a good lense just not enough better than what I have to justify spending the money. Hope to buy a canon L lense in the future.

Overall, in the short time I have used it, it is proving to be a useful lens for the type of photography I do. The image stabilization is helpful for shooting without a tripod.
Image quality is very good for this type of lens and the weight is not a hindrance for long term carrying on neck strap alone.

Great telephoto lens for a small form factor. Images are clear. Stabilization works well but you will want a tripod or monopod at the full zoom.

Very pleased with my camera lens. I'm getting great shots of the moon and the kids in their sports I couldn't get with the standard lens that comes with the DSLR packages.

I have been thoroughly enjoying my new Telephoto lense. I am so ready to purchase my next lense which is a macro lense. Up close is just as important than far away.

It's been around for awhile but it is a nice lens. The newer model is being released soon but with the reduced price on this one.... couldn't pass it up.
