About this product

Product Information

The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM telephoto zoom lens has been developed to meet the high-performance standards that today's photographers demand. Improved Image Stabilizer Technology provides up to three stops of "shake" correction, and the "Mode 2" option stabilizes images while panning with a moving subject. Compared to the original Canon EF 75-300mm IS zoom lens, this telephoto lens has faster autofocus, and overall the lens is lighter and has a smaller diameter than the original. The zoom ring can be locked at the 70mm position, making this powerful lens easy to transport, too.

    A little cumbersome but a great lens

    I bought this lens after a recommendation for a relative who is a keen photographer and have used it regularly since purchase. It is a great lens and does what it says on the tin. The image stabiliser has 2 settings, one for still and one for motion shots and you can either allow the camera to automatically focus or focus yourself to improve the versatility of your shots. The only downside to the lens is that it adds weight to the camera bag and it can be a bit cumbersome to change until you get used to it. You will need to hold the lens to ensure you can line up the shot but probably that goes without saying to experienced photographers (I'm a novice so it took me a while!) Apart from that I've been really, really pleased with the images.

    Canon 70-300 IS USM

    The lens is very noisy while focus with IS, you can hear long whirring. The photos taken at 300mm are soft and lacking sharpeness. It's ok at 100mm. It's ok for the price, as always you get what you pay for. It's a good lens for someone who takes low resolution picturee.

  • Canon EF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 IS USM Zoom Lens in Mint Condition (£185)

    Is it durable? Yes, as durable as any long lens can be. 90% of my photographic equipment is made by Canon and nothing has fallen apart but that's because I take care of it. All of my cameras and lenses are properly bagged just in case. I keep this lens attached to one of my 30Ds (a pair) ready to take the quick photo. I have a wide-angle zoom attached to the other 30D. Image sharp? Yes, except at the edges but this is to be expected with zoom lenses. Who would be interested in this part of an image anyway? Good value? Yes, as a secondhand purchase in mint condition with everything working I can honestly say I am pleased with my purchase. Buying secondhand is always risky so you must do a little research to determine what might go wrong.

  • 95% of the performance for 50% of the price

    It was a toss up whether I bought this or the lovely L series equivalent. I chose this firstly because it is so much lighter and secondly, it's a lot cheaper. I had a chance to try both lenses out side by side and I have no doubt that I got the right one. This is light and easily held and the Image Stabilisation is superb. A half press on the shutter release button and the image in the viewfinder stays rock steady. I will be taking this on safari and the ease of handling was a big factor in my choice. If I had the luxury of setting up a tripod for each shot I may have taken the L lens but instead I saved hundreds of pounds and got a lens more suited to the use I shall be putting it to.

  • Best macro lens going

    Having had this lens before i soon found out i had made a mistake by selling it as i missed getting those really close up shots of dragonflies and insects, i bought the Canon 100mm macro but with no stablisation but di not like it very much so i sold that on and with the money i bought the Canon EF 70-300 lens with macro capability, no i will not sell this lens. This has to be one of the iconic Canon lenses still in use today.

  • One not to miss

    If you are looking at an upgrade from your standard kit lens and want a bit more reach for capturing birds and other wildlife, this lens is your best bet. The build quality is very good, but the additional hood needs to be purchased separately. Image quality is extremely impressive, especially considering the cost of this lens. Great lens for many situations.

  • Brilliant buy

    Described as "as new"..... often a dubious description...but in this case absolutely true. Arrived quickly, well packaged, still in the box, instruction CD and manual all present. Not a mark on the lens at all, and certainly is AS NEW. Very pleased at getting this lens for about £140 less than a brand new one. And being a genuine Canon lens - does "exactly what it says on the tin " Brilliant bit of kit.

  • Perfect lens

    An excellent buy for those who like photography. Lens 70-300 with two-position image stabilizer and AF and MF. I am quite pleased with the final result has great picture quality. Great for pictures that one would want some more details with plenty of distance.

  • Excellent lens

    I bought this as a Christmas present for my son, at his request. It is pre-owned, but he says that the lens is prisitne and the auto focus and stabilisation work perfectly.

    pros: a splendid lens, sharp images, easy to use well. cons: Heavy, could do with being somewhat lighter.
