I disagree, the lens is not sharp at 200mm-300mm especially with APS-C cameras. Anyone who is using APS-C or beginner level camera is better off getting a refurbished 55-250mm STM. He even made a comparison video titled "Canon EF 75-300mm Lens vs EF-S 55-250mm STM Lens" for it.

A fair review of this lens. For an amateur photographer working on a limited budget it represents great value for money. What you forgot to mention was that this is a full frame lens and when used on a crop sensor camera (which most amateurs will probably be using) then a crop factor of 1.6 has to be taken into account making the effective focal length at the long end 480mm and the short end 120mm.

My opinion isn't the only correct one, but I've seen a number of people (even in the comments here) try to recommend the 70-200mm lens to beginners, and really tear apart lenses such as this one and the 18-55mm, but I'm a firm believer that you can get good images with any lens. Sure a nicer lens results in a nicer image, but I find it very annoying when pro photographers make $1000+ lenses seem like the only way to go.

Most pictures nowadays are either shared on social media or taken at events at night, where noise take away most of any sharpness advantage. I had a 70-200mm 2.8L III, first class, but I had to sell it due to covid and a good opportunity to get a good price. Then at a sport event I used the 70-300mm, the pictures were posted on social media and any difference was barely noticeable, and above ISO 400 most lenses will have a similar image quality. Also my arms thanked the lighter weight, and I could carry it mounted to the camera on a smaller bag. There are some advantages.

I'm new to the digital photography game. I bought a refurbished Canon EOS R10 with the RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM kit lens direct from Canon. One of the first 2 lenses I bought, is the EF 75-300mm F4-5.6 IS USM (used from B&H for $150) and the Canon RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM. I actually like using the 75-300 for most shots. While I admit, it doesn't hold a candle to the 100-400 when it comes to image quality, but for me, it works great. I will say that it did take me some time to get used to the lens being constantly in motion when moving the camera around. With the lens in AF, it will consistently adjust focus, and the USM is a bit noisy. To me, that's a non-issue, but figured I mention in case others are considering it. Just a quick reminder though. If you're looking to buy one and you have a Canon EOS R series camera, with the APS-C crop sensor, you will need an adaptor to attach the lens to your camera. The lens is an EF mount and the R series (R3 to R100) are RF mounts.

It's by no means a pro lens, but don't think it wont get the job done when you're just starting out! If you aren't already, try making the shutter speed either 1/500, 1/640, or even faster if necessary. Because the lens isn't image stabilized you need a fairly fast shutter-speed to get sharp results, especially on a crop sensor camera like the T6. Let me know if you have any other concerns and I'm totally willing to help you out! Best of luck!

I had that lens way back with the original Digital Rebel. If you're an absolute beginner, or someone who just doesn't care much about image quality, it's worth having. It will let you try out things like daytime sports, birding, wildlife, candids etc on the cheap. Once you get more serious, I'd recommend ditching it pretty quickly. I managed a few goods shots with it as a beginner back in the day, but there's no way I'd use it again now. It's a lens that has a definite target audience, and in the hands of that target audience, it's not a bad lens at all for the price.

So i'll make the assumption you are comparing the 75-300mm lens with the 70-300mm lens. Please correct me if I'm wrong! The biggest difference is the 70-300mm(the more expensive one) has image stabilization and a USM motor. This means it will be faster at focusing, and will be better for low-light situations and recording video because the lens is stabilized. Also just in general the image quality will be better as it's simply a higher quality lens. Hope this helps and let me know if you have further questions!

@@eanton-gx7sq It depends on which ones it is. If it is the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III, that is about the price they typically go for and it is the lens shown in this video. Its biggest weaknesses are that it is not image stabilized, it has a sort of slow motor, and the aperture number doesn't get very low, which means it won't be great for low-light situations. It's images also are not as sharp as more expensive telephoto lenses. It also suffers from chromatic aberration which is where pink and green colors appear in parts of your image at time (often not noticeable unless you crop or zoom in on your image). All that being said, if you are new to photography you'll probably love this lens because zooming in and taking pictures with it will look much superior to anything else you've ever used. But, there's a reason sports photographers will spend $2000 on a 70-200mm lens instead of using this $90 lens, there is a big difference in overall quality. This is one of the cheapest canon lenses and will leave a lot of room to upgrade if you wish to do so in the future. Hope this helps!

Hmm, while it isn't the best lens you shouldn't be getting mostly blurry shots. Try using AI Servo focusing if you're shooting moving subjects. This will keep the lens constantly adjusting focus if your subject is moving. Also make sure your shutterspeed is nice and high. If you're shooting at 300mm you'll want to be shooting at 1/300th of a second or faster, and on a crop sensor 1/480th of a second or faster handheld. Regardless, glad you're getting some decent shots and hopefully this helps reduce the blurry ratio!

I agree completely. Half the people online who complain about this don't even say _why_ it's bad, and the ones who are like "it's good under 135mm" don't explain anything else. Yes, there _can_ be some nasty chromatic aberration, but in most of the cases you'd use this lens for, it doesn't happen or isn't noticeable unless you're really looking hard for it. This lens isn't going to win any benchmarks but as is the case with most benchmarked tests, they don't always represent real-world results. So far, nobody has ever noticed any issues with photos I took with this lens. I feel like people just hate on it because they're snobs. That being said, I'm grateful to them, because their excessive negativity helped me get something that's actually decent for a great price.

It's not the best lens for a shallow depth of field. Unfortunately if you want anything with a smaller aperture number, the price will go up significantly.

The Canon 70-200 f/2.8 is an extremely popular lens if you want a blurry background, but is pretty expensive (ranging from $1000-$2000 depending on which version and if you buy used or not). A cheaper version, the 70-200 f/4 goes for $400-$500 used. I've used this one and it's definitely a step up from the 75-300, but won't have quite as blurry of a background as the 70-200 f/2.8. Are you still looking for a long focal length? If you just want a blurry background, lenses like the 50mm f/1.8 are cheap (around $100) and great for this!

Good video. Man, I miss the crab pot and downtown Seattle. I’m about to head out on my dirt bike in Wyoming. I’ve found some wild fossil beds and lava flows and I use the Canon t7 in my podcast studio with the 10-:35, but haven’t used the 75-300…I’m stoked to use this lens out in the middle of nowhere. Takes me five minutes to be in solitude…don’t miss that about Seattle. Cheers, brother🍻

We can buy 55-250mm IS STM Lens rather than this by adding some extra money and we will get IS and STM motor which will be a great deal rather than this by sacrificing the EF mount and getting only EF-S mount. Thanks.

That's true. I own both lenses and that one is definitely superior. However it does cost twice as much and will not work on a full frame (although i'm aware that if you can afford a full frame this probably isn't the type of lens you would want). However, this lens is often included in package deals along with a camera and 18-55 making it fairly common for people to get early on.

They could be different versions, some might say II and others might be III (version 2 or version 3) or some may be refurbished or used while others are new. Regardless, as long as it says Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 it is essentially the same lens with the newer versions being slightly better. Hope this helps!

I have this lens and when I got it (It came with my used T6) I hated it. It has no image stabilization on it and I couldn't get any good shots, but, after learning how to hold it and (remembering my long range shooting training) trigger on the half-breath, it became my most used lens. I have been able to take some impressive images with it and often wonder what a "real" telephoto lens would be like. Great review! Thanks!

I picked a 70-200 L f4 no IS, one of the cheapest L lenses I guess. This thing is razor sharp and super awesome. For super zoom I got Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, a stalkers choice. Girls at Akihabara are extremely camera shy, so you have to shoot them from far away.

I just came home to my delivery of this lens. Got it a refurbished one along with a hefty accessories kit for $71 on eBay (bid item apparently no one but me saw!). I'm shooting with my Rebel SL2, and so far I love it! My only complaint is how rough the action on the zoom is. I find myself turning my hand over the top of it (backhand) to get more leverage to twist

Agreed, it isn't quite as smooth as other lenses, but the roughness helps avoid lens creep (where the lens zooms a little when pointed downwards).

So, is this the minority report? Well, there seems to be a lot of positive feedback here in the comments. I am glad that someone likes this lens, cause I don't. I was considering buying a Canon DSLR after failing to acclimate to a Nikon D3400, and I found this lens for $60 at a pawn shop. I then got more serious and researched a little before deciding on an SL3 because it has built-in stability and is lightweight and budget friendly. It came with a stabilized EF-S 18-55. That lens works pretty well with a little practice. But I am a Bridge Camera guy and I am used to a lot of Zoom! So I put on the 75-300 and tried it at the park on a nice day. I just can't get the autofocus to work adequately at any focal length. So I bought a stabilized EF-S 55-250 and am not quite happy with it either. Maybe me and DSLRs are just not meant to be.
