    Canon EF 100-300mm F4.5/5.6 USM lens

    This lens has good glass and it has a fast USM motor so it adjusts quickly and takes good images. It needs a lot of light to shoot at longer focal lengths so that it can be stopped down to f8. For the price it is a excellent buy for a zoom at that length and it beats all the 75-300mm lens. On a crop senor lens it's even better because the soft parts of the image at the corners aren't in the image. For the current price it's selling for it's a steal.

    Not a bad lens, with caveats

    Not the best lens out there, but very reasonable. I've found it's very sharp at 100-200mm, but at 300mm it gets distictly soft and a little dreamy. If you like a kind of ethereal look, shoot at 300mm! For those of you blaming the user for the soft images at 300mm (which isn't unreasonable), I've tested with a tripod and remote release and get the same dreaminess. I've also found I get the best results at 250th of a sec--remember this is a long lens without IS, so you have to shoot really fast shutter speeds to stop your movement.

  • Solid with great optics.

    This lens has become a reliable go-to in my kit. Not missing the absence of image stabilization, and hard to argue with a 480mm equivalant on an EF-S camera body. Low-light performance as expected at full zoom and f5.6.

  • Great value for telephoto

    Detailed review of this lens at Ken Rockwell's page is borne out by my experience with it. It's not image stabilized so a tripod is handy for shots at the far end of the zoom range. I use it on a Canon EOS 5D Mk II body when I want a lightweight zoom, particularly in adverse conditions where I'd be reluctant to haul along the far more expensive (three pound!) 70-200 mm f/2.8 L IS II.

  • Your eyes beyond what doesn't matter

    Almost forgotten by the nowadays world of digital photography, this lens is a first rate asset if you want to photograph what is beyond things and people that does not matter you at all: it goes there sharply, fast and light. Travels well, not heavy at all to carry, focus very fast (eider manual or automatic) and is sharp and effective. At 300mm it does some vignetting, but nothing that you can't correct, eider by closing a little bit the zoom, or in post production. A wonderful lens, cheap, durable and reliable. Go for it!

  • Basement bargain price, pro daylight shooter, lightweight.

    Great lens for daylight shooting. Hold that thing still, it's a long lens. There is no stabilization on this lens, so get your yoga on. It's light weight and great during the day. I paired it with a knock off E65III lens hood. Never bought a lens cap for it, just the hood. 300mm is so much closer than 200mm. Just a great image. I take this thing skitouring with a heavy winter pack, I don't want to bring a 'good' lens, because it will get wet and broken. A $100 lens is just the ticket.

  • OLDSCHOOL IS BETTER

    This 100-300 ultrasonic is so much better then the 75-300 that came with my new canon t5. The auto focus is so much more faster too. Yes its a bit heavier...but if you have a fairly steady hand...not a problem. Picture quality is superb. I may be an amateur, but this lens has made me pro amateur in my opinion. My friends and family noticed the difference when i send them photos. πŸ‘πŸ‘

  • Well built classic still holds its own.

    One of the classic well built lenses, super cheap, still functions great on my brand new mirror less camera. I wish Canon had made a classic ultra wide prime that could be found this cheap today!

  • The canon EF 100-300mm lens is a budget ...

    The canon EF 100-300mm lens is a budget lens from the 90’s. It’s not the sharpest but it will get the job done. Just manage your expectations. They are old and budget friendly.

  • Canon 100-300mm USM

    I just tested it once....everything seems to work as it should. Auto-focus is really fast. Image quality and color seems very good. I think I will like this lens.....though it is longer than I'd forseen and won't fit in my present camera case when mounted....not a big issue.
