Bought for my trip to Hawaii in October. Haven't had a chance to use the lens yet.
Bud from Bellingham WA Fun to use. Low cost too.
I am very glad he is pleased with it and so am I. This was a present for my fiance. He absolutely loves it and it takes great pics.
It wasn't hard to do. The 75-300 mm telephoto lens has worked well for the pictures (not many) I have taken so far. I had to learn when to use it the best way possible.
I love having the freedom to zoom in on distant objects. However, the lens produces excellent contrast and the overall image quality is great. I noticed the worst sharpening at 300mm wide open.
I use it on my Digital Rebel XT and it seems to do a pretty good job as a entry-level zoom lens. I will say, I shoot in RAW and inspect all of my photographs at 100% zoom during processing, I can tell you that the optics of the produce a non-sharp image and tends to have chromatic abberation especially in high contrast regions. I'm a serious amateur photographer who recently recieved the lens as a christmas present this year.
Even under the most ideal conditions at 250 mm, f/32 using a tripod, mirror lockup and the self timer with no filter, the picture is not sharp and I believe this is dispersion of the lens glass. So it doesn't perform as well as a professional lense but as a amateur, I'm happy to have this zoom lens to complement my Rebel XT system. I've been testing the lens out for about a month and I have essentially the same conclusions as everyone else: the autofocus is rather slow and clunky but I am still able to nail birds flying past me.
The lens is rather slow at f/4 but I've taken some great shots at ISO 100 and ISO 200 by hand with it at 300 mm.
