    • Wow!!!!!!!!!
Style: Lens Only
This lens just came today and I couldn't wait to write this review. It is absolutely PERFECT!!! I started with the kit lens with my first Canon Rebel years ago, then I got some medium priced zooms as I upgraded the cameras. Along the way, I purchased a few prime lenses and thought I had it made. I am mainly shooting nature and running and playing dogs, as well as some portraits of the dogs. A few months ago I found some money and decided to get the EF 200mm f/2.8L to go with my Rebel t2i. Wow, now this WAS perfect!!! It was fantastic, especially for the dog action shots as they were in a fenced in area perfect for the distance of the 200mm lens. Colors were amazing, EVERYTHING was tack sharp and I was having a blast shooting. But, bigger and better called to me... I wanted a GOOD lens, but wanted to cover the range between my primes and I hoped a L zoom would fit the bill, if I could afford it. And, a bit of distance would be great as well, because once I got the 200 lens, it was difficult to be satisfied with my old zooms. I also wanted more versatility for shooting from a kayak where it was difficult to carry and change lenses. I spent a whole week decided the range I wanted and finally settled with 70 - 300. I read a thousand reviews, and spent 4 hours shooting everything with my current 70 - 300 Sigma lens to make sure that was going to cover me. Finally I begged, borrowed and stole (well, not really), and ordered this lens last night. Less than 24 hours later it arrived. Wow, what an impressive piece of glass! I was totally sold before I even put it on my camera! I shot some inside stuff with available light in my kennel and grooming shop since I was stuck at work. I did some thru the window stuff as well. Finally, I got outside and shot a few different things, including one moving dog and some birds in a distant tree. I am totally and completely sold on this lens!!! Now, with TWO L lenses in my bag I am going to find it impossible to ever go back to my old zooms. Everyone WAS right when they said these lenses were great. EVERYTHING is magnificant... the lens is quiet, quick as can be and I love the ability to fine tune the focus while still in automatic focus. The inside shots were amazing... this is a huge, old building without the greatest lights but my shots came out with excellent contrast and color and no noise at all. The zoom is smooth as can be and hand holding coupled with the IS is a breeze. I did switch the IS to Mode 2 for the running dog and that was great as well. I am NOT a photographer... I take pictures. I don't compose my shots, I crop them, and I usually leave the camera on continous shooting and shoot hundreds of shots and keep the winner or winners, especially when shooting the moving dogs. Digital is cheap and it is easy to delete the ones you don't like. Well, of the 30 or so I have shot with this lens already NONE have been rejected for slow focus or blur or the usual reasons for a failed photo. This is going to be FUN! I am headed out after work to test the lens at my favorite kayaking pond. I will stay long enough for the sun to go down and see how it goes. I may amend this tomorrow. 06/08/11... kayaking trip was GREAT. I was amazed at how much light this lens gathered, even after the sun had set. My friend had a good P&S panasonic camera and lost available light well before I couldn't shoot. We came across a beaver and he slapped his tail and I was actually able to get the tail in the air!!! Amazing. It was fuzzy, but that was MY problem, not the camera or the lens! Earlier I had done some shooting in the back yard and shot a movement in a far away tree. I thought it was a bird, but even thru the lens I couldn't be sure. When looking at the photos it WAS a small finch and it even had an insect in it's beak... crystal clear and simply amazing!!! The moving dog photos all came out sharp and crystal clear and the action shots were incredible! I had no problems with mixing up the focus and zoom rings... an issue previous reviewers had found. The only problem was that in the beginning, I did tend to move the focus ring a bit while supporting the lens with my hand... I just made a point to put my hand down where the tripod mount goes and soon it became a habit. Get this lens...you won't be sorry! ... show more

    • Fabulous! Another winner from Canon
Style: Lens Only
This lens has some very promising features: build quality, optical quality, image stabilization, optical glass, and the usual overall "L" package quality feel. In short, it is a professional quality lens. What makes this lens a winner for me is consistency, from start to finish. My initial results, simply using the DSLR's familiar 'green box' were quite pleasing. This setting lets you simply twist to zoom in and compose your frame and click. Nice! This was great for concentrating on some gorillas who were a bit camera shy. We visited the zoo for three days straight and this carry along didn't get in the way. It performed admirably each time called upon. Especially enjoyable was the long reach to capture a cheetah in repose, five lion cubs at feeding time, some gorillas, and even some close in shots of the gorgeous flora displays. Using servo mode autofocus, I was able to pull in some very clear shots of the zoo's steam locomotive train. Image stabilization was on for all photos and was doing its job well. The Canon 70-300mm L lens is definitely a heavy lens after you have been carrying it around for a while, and you have to expect that. The tradeoff, though, is that you have quite a wide range of zoom to pull in far away subjects, like cheetah or the lions close in, just beyond the glass enclosure. Overall, it was manageable, but must be supported by your arm rather than left to hang off your neck! I especially liked being able to easily stow the combination 70-300 and 5dMII straight into my shoulder bag while still having room for a 135mm F2.0 L lens which I brought along for special effects. The 135 is one definite speciality lens for when you need more than a quick snap. The bottom line takeaway: a. This is a great general purpose zoom you can rely upon. Consider this lens if you need high quality images AND lens build quality, reliability, longevity, and overall value. This a "permanent collection" quality lens. Expect considerable utility and performance for years to come. I only dropped one of these tank bodies once on concrete. I can only say don't ever do that if you can help it, but if you do, it will probably just work like always. mine did. That is probably why they are built this way. Built to last, in my opinion. b. This zoom range is a long time standard, and it works very well on a full frame DSLR. Canon's choice of optics and coatings for this lens captures details and color "with punch" (especially on an over cast day). Out of focus backgrounds were pleasing. Image quality was very good to high. It lived up to all of it's advertising claims. c. Expect premium results with this lens when pared with a premium dslr. That said, it was not the ultimate choice for every situation or condition. Provisioning for that would have involved a whole bag full of lenses. But it was a great choice for three days at the zoo! Recommended for enthusiasts who are getting passionate about their hobby as well as pros who depend upon their equipment. ... show more
