Cons:Lack of stabilization, low quality above 200 mm, slow and sometimes inaccurate AF
Opinion:Those who, like me, had it bundled with the 550d found it almost a gift... However, if you are looking for an average used telephoto zoom under 100 euros (seen on 80-90.....but what are you buying??) this is great. The reasons? First of all it's a Canon, it reaches 300 mm (apsc 480 equivalent), it's well made, metal bayonet, smooth and easy to handle rings, it doesn't distort, beautiful colors, up to 200 mm sharp especially between f5.6 and f9 above 200 usable only from f11 up to f22, good color rendering even if raising the iso and closing the aperture you risk some aberration... Excellent portraits that are absolutely not flat and with a pleasant blur. Of course it needs light, sporting events are held in broad daylight with the sun, birdlife I already see harder... Street... Why not? It is turned with a "cannoncino" that is all in all light and inconspicuous... also good for macros.... The real flaw is the lack of stabilization, from 200 mm upwards even if you have an iron hand you don't solve much, you need a tripod unless you are at least 1/500, between 75 and 200?.... you get used to shooting without IS and you get the hang of it... simple! AF sometimes iffy but it also depends on the body used. Overall a must for those who love 'budget photography' like me, rated 9
Cons:Plastic, unresponsive AF, sharpness not at its best, no stabilization
Opinion:Bought in the kit along with my old 550D. I started to take my first steps thanks to this goal. It is a very light goal, it costs little and his job does it discreetly. The dimensions are small and it is comfortable to carry in any backpack. The focus is very slow and noisy. I would recommend it as a lens just to start given its price, but nothing more.
Cons:Noisy and inaccurate Af, loss of sharpness at maximum focal length, blurring of a part of the frame with a fully open aperture.
Opinion:For the price at which it is proposed it must be said that with due care, you can pull out good shots despite the quality performance is not at the top. If on the one hand we find the wide focal range and the relative lightness of the lens itself, on the other there are as many weak points that affect its overall quality. Let's start once again with autofocus. It is definitely noisy and often inaccurate. It also tends to be slow and for the subjects I portray (aircraft landing or take-off) it is a significant problem. The sharpness is good if not very good (but this is a personal judgment) from the shortest focal length up to roughly 250/280 mm and then quickly lose quality once the maximum focal length of 300 mm has been reached. The other annoying flaw is the progressive blurring of a part of the frame with the aperture completely open despite having set the focus to infinity.
Pros:Lightness, focal excursion, compatibility with FF
Cons:Lack of stabilization, sharpness at TA, chromatic aberrations
Opinion:I bought it back in 1999, just released, for analog EOS. Back then it was a standard telezoom for amateurs and for the time had more than adequate performance. Even now I find it difficult to give a completely negative judgment, perhaps because I consider it a kind of gift made to me by time, since I found it between the aging without taking out a penny when I switched to digital EOS (first 450D and then 70D). He still honestly does his job for amateur use, albeit with many limitations, and manages to produce good shots. Of course the sharpness is very far from that of a professional optics, especially at TA, and the chromatic aberrations always lurking. It produces rather soft images and gives its best between f8 and f11; with due post-production it provides more than satisfactory results. From its lightness and the consequent handling. The biggest flaw is the lack of stabilization that forces fast times or forces the use of the tripod. Mounted on an easel for photos of architectural and artistic details or some shots of urban views is still useful to me. I'd like to try it on a FF.
Cons:Lack of stabilization, poor image quality, is not USM.
Opinion:It is a lens to keep only if you make videos. In Full HD it's OK, at 300, if it's on hard drive. For the rest it is full of problems. Very light, the ideal match is with an Eos M in video mode on a tripod even lighter due to reduced load, but cmq stable at longer focal lengths. It also makes sense for "small pictures" "Like those for websites. It's plasticous and it's not a battle. It makes no sense to use it on vacation: you would ruin memories.
