  • Summary: I've loved this lens for 5+ years, but now it's having issues. Specifically, the background is in sharper focus than the focal point with both my old 1Ds and my new 7D.

Mike From Mesa "MikeFromMesa", Amazon

  • Summary: I was looking for something to extend the reach of my Canon 18-200mm lens. I tried the 100-400mm and loved it, but found it just too long and too heavy for normal use.

Canon EF70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM lens

  • Summary: The IS capability is a great improvement over the 70-300 mm non stabilized lens that came with the camera. The stucco on an intermediate range structure is very detailed.

Nice Lens But Not The Sharpest

FotoFreak, Canon
26 January 2010
  • Conclusion: This lens is great if you don't want everybody to know you're shooting them. The pics come out pretty sharp but not the sharpest I've seen.
  • Pros: Fast auto-focus, great portability for such focal lengths
  • Cons: could be sharper.
