Great lens for that unsteady hand. Mine is paired with the 50d which when used in full action mode (6.5 fps) an occasional shot is blurry. from Cameraworld.com I bought this lens a few years ago before I got serious about photography. Since then everything else in my kit has slowly been upgraded, but I just never seem to find a good enough reason to replace the 70-300mm. from Amazon.com I did quite a bit of research on zoom lenses in this range and decided that this would be the one I would purchase. I am glad I did. from Amazon.com I am interested in taking photos for about 5 years. This product actually open a new age for me. Considering the price of the product and comparing it with others, I admit that this lens is excellent and meets my need. From now on, everybody and every detail of everything will be the models on my new coming photos. from Amazon.com I am very disappointed with the performance of this lens. I expected better from Canon since I am a long-time Canon user and have many lenses by them. from Amazon.com Use it on 40D and 5D, based on real world use, not target pattern shooting. Pro: - IS - light weight from Amazon.com This is one of my first lenses, so understand that my experience is that of an amateur somewhat new into DSLR. Regardless of that factor though, it is clear to see that this lens is a very good value for the cost. from Amazon.com The lens is excellent. the image stabilizer works as specified. from Amazon.com This is an excellent lens. It was lighter than I was expecting and so far seems to be very sharp and much better than its predecessor. from Amazon.com I was thinking about getting a 70-200MM f/2.8 or f/4 IS. I decided on this because of price and weight (very light, can carry for hours). from Amazon.com
