Excellent lens for the price. Used on a crop sensor camera gives a very useful range of 480 mm. Quality of images very impressive, almost as good as my L series 70-200 f4. Only down side is there isn't a lens hood included. Excellent service from John Lewis as usual.
It's always fun to test (or read about) the latest, high-end lenses but the truth is that most of the market action is still in the bottom- to mid-level segment and, yes, we neglected this here lately.
So far so good ... Enjoying this lens... Using mostly for birding ... On a crop sensor so it ends up being 480 mm but you still have to be close enough to fill the frame ... Delivery within tht two days i requested pick up a post office nearby .
Close in on the action with the EF 70–300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM telephoto zoom lens. With a wide zoom range and fast, near-silent autofocus, it can be ideal for anyone looking to capture distant subjects.
I just purchased this lens from B&H and although it came with a little speck of dust on the inside front element, I tested the lens and it has no effect on the image, I was thinking of returning it to get another copy, but my lens is so sharp wide open from 70 to 300, I am so pleased with the...
Usually you can bank on Canon for delivering some of the best tele lenses across all classes and that also applies to the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 USM L IS II. Canon managed to improve the lens in many aspects compared to its predecessor.
I use this lens pretty heavily at sporting events (mostly racing practise and test sessions) and it is an excellent lens for medium range shots - eg when you're behind a boundary fence or in the stands taking pictures of the track.
This lens is amazing exactly what I wanted for my new canon and worth the money. Photo quality is better than I could have asked for.
There is a tendency for reviewers to consider the performance of a lens without considering the investment, e.g. comparing a non L zoom to a L fixed-focal lens. They are apples and oranges as far as I am concerned.
