Pros: Zoom, Depth of Field, Price, Photo Quality, Video Quality
Cons: Doesn't feel sturdy, 4.9 foot minimum macro
Summary: I bought this lens about two months ago after using it over spring break in 2011. The zoom on the lens is very good quality for it's price, and the quality of depth of field in the resulting photos/videos looks beautiful. It has become one of my main ... read more

Pros: Light, Very inexpensive
Cons: OK build quality, Somewhat soft images
Summary: If you have a Canon Digital SLR, and just the kit lens that it came with, there is no doubt that you will sometime find yourself wishing that you had more zoom. Face it- That 18-55 that the camera came with just doesn't get you up close- where you really ... read more

Pros: Light-Weight; Inexpensive; Smooth Zoom
Cons: Softness; Rotating Front Element; Cheap Build
Summary: As I was looking into getting a nice mid-range telephoto lens for myself, I borrowed a low-end Canon EF 75-300mm f4-5.6 III lens. This is the lowest-end variant of Canon's consumer level 75-300mm market. The version I used was the non-USM variant. ... read more

Pros: Excellent macro performance, very sharp, lightweight, inexpensive.
Cons: Not weatherproofed. Maximal aperture is not extremely fast.
Summary: Continuing my review series of Olympus Zuiko Digital lenses for the Four Thirds system digital cameras, I’ve chosen to review the ZD 35mm macro lens. This lens is part of the “budget” range of lenses, and is currently the only lens capable ... read more

Pros: good zoom range, light
Cons: slooowwwww (high max aperature), no IS system.
Summary: I bought this lens at the same time I bought my digital rebel body because I wanted a somewhat long zoom for shooting the tigers at busch gardens (from several hundred feet up on the bridge). For what I wanted it for, 300mm just isn't quite enough even ... read more

Pros: If you want a lightweight & effective 300mm lens, this is a great choice.
Cons: Some reports of incompatibility with the 10D digital body.
Summary: Its always hard to get the perfect lens. Especially if you don't want to spend a ton of money. In the "ton of money" catagory, you have Canon's "L" lens series. Generally, the prices start at $1000 and go up from there. Even if you do have the ... read more

Pros: IS rocks. Great zoom, great over all lens, quick focus. Light weight
Cons: Not a fast lens. but nothing else wrong with this lens at all.
Summary: IS is a great help in slightly lower light situations. The IS is not a replacement for a fast lens as 1/30 or 1/60th when zoomed out still blurs or causes shake. I like this for a good, overall outdoor lens because it's small enough to fit in my ... read more

Pros: Large Range (75mm to 300mm), Image Stabilizer, Quick Auto Focus in good light.
Cons: Bad Auto Focus in low light
Summary: This is currently my only lens! It is a little bit big for taking close pictures (min focal length is about 5 ft). I think the only other lens I need is a short focal length lens (24mm to 50mm). The lens is physically large but works great! The ... read more

Pros: IS works great - Improves ability to take hand-held shots several stops; Good sharpness!
Cons: Heavy; Slightly dark colors at full zoom
Summary: This lens is about the best you can do for the money without resorting to the heavy special glass professional lenses. It's bulky, but the Image Stabilization (IS) dramatically reduces blurryness due to shaking. It's worth lugging the extra weight of ... read more

Pros: Durable, Versatile, Fast Auto Focus, Superior Stabilization, Generally Lightweight
Cons: Like all zoom lenses, this is not ideal for those real "close" shots - Use Your Point-n-Shoot at Gramma's 80th Birthday Bash

Cons: soft, vignetting, poor construction, small aperture.
Summary: The 75-300 does the job and that's all. It has no features that make you say WOW!
Construction: poor... It has a "cheap" feeling. The rings are not tight, so the controls are not precise. You can hear some pieces ratteling when you ... read more

Cons: fairly high aperture (f/4-5.6)

Pros: A Good Every Day Lens For The Semi Pro
Cons: Loose A Little Clarity With Fully Extended Zoom.
Summary: This is a good quality family use lens. If photographing the kids on a swing, or the pooch chasing a stick, or even the deer snacking in your garden - you can capture life happening! This is a good walk around every day lens. At the 75mm range, the

Pros: Zoom range and price
Cons: Very slow, noisy, poor construction- lot's of plastic, rotating front element, soft at long range
Summary: I bought this one used in like new condition from Bay. Slapped the lens to my Elan 7 body, and boy, this is slow. USM is not ring type, so it's very slow. If you want to save money get the one without USM. Picture quality is acceptable at 100-200mm

Pros: - Good zoom range.

Cons: - No image stabilization.
- Poor auto focusing in low light conditions.
Summary: This is a good quality, entry-level camera lens which provides a wide zoom range. I purchased it along with my EOS 10D, and after shelling out the $$$ for the camera, my budget limited me to lower-priced lenses to begin with. The lens has produced so
