I initially expected this lens to have image stabilization but after using it a few times and reviewing the photos, I am sold. I used the lens on vacation to get some close up shot's on wildlife at the edge of a cliff from atop a "Point Udal" (St.Croix USVI). I was able to get shots up close without leaving the security of the lookout area. I would recommend this lens for the beginner to mid level pro.

I was mislead by having ULTRASONIC written on the lens. I should have known because I have three true Ultrasonic Motor.

I researched the forums about what lenses would be the most affordable and versatile and this lens fits the bill. It is light weight and fits in my camera bag. I can use it for a carry around lense, it focuses fast enough for my needs and allows me to be back away from some of the wildlife I like to photograph. I also attach it to my telescope, piggyback and use it to take astronomy pictures for personal use. The price vs. features list was the main reason, but teh picture quality won me over.

This is a great starter lens, just realize that if you are serious you will upgrade. if you are just testing the waters and don't want to shell out a lot of money for an expensive lens, try this lens and you won't lose to much $ if you end up not "going" for photography. this lens needs a lot of light to look good(consider buying a good flash if don't have one already)if you are interested in high quality pics stay away from this lens!!!

I know there are better telephoto lenses out there, but none cheaper. Results aren't always found in the gear, but in the skills of the photographer. If you're new to photography, this is a great lens for learning to control a telephoto, and tracking motion at distances. I've had this lens for 6 years and still love breaking it out. I make little money with my work, since it is just a hobby. So I have no need to buy the pricey IS lenses, it works great for me.

For the money this lens is great...[...].On the 75-200 end, the pictures are average to above average, however 200-300 it drops off the scale fast.From a professional stand point I would look else were, but for mom and dad at a baseball park this lens if for you.

Best used with a tripod since this lense does not have an image stabiliser.

When I first bought this lens with my Rebel TX about 2 years ago, I didn't know anything about photography. Looking back on it, it showed in my willing to purchase this lens. I've since upgraded my equipment to a Canon 5D body, a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens and a Canon 50mm f/1.4 Lens.
I'm asuming if you are looking to purchase this lens, you don't care much about the quality of your photos (in that case go buy it). If you care about the quality, then start by dishing out a few more dollars and looking into Sigma Lenses. You'll get WAY more bang for the buck and there are many professional photographers that actually prefer what they get from the sigma lens over the Canon L series lenses.

Like I said in the begining, if you don't care about your photos being high quality, this lens is for you.

If price is a consideration in buying a lens, this lens does a great job for the money. It isn't the top of the line but it works very well and you can get some very nice photos.

I've used this to photograph soccer and basketball games with great results. No need to use tripod if the filem speed is fast (400-800).

this is a great lens. The only real bad part is that it dosn't auto focas very well in dark lighting but I shot a basketball game with it and the gym didn't have very good lighting and the pictures came out great. i'v only shot on wedding with it and its perfect for geting and close up from way acrossed the room. so all and all great lens buy it if your looking for a good 75-300mm lens.
