Pros: Size, weight, inconspicuous, yield between 100 and 250 mm comparable to the 70/200 f4L

Cons: Unbalanced, hard zumata guinea

Opinion: I agree with everything that is said in weaving the praises of an unjustly mistreated view. Surely the 70/300 L is a little better but for weight, color and size it makes it difficult to seize moments in discretion. The 70/200 f4 is also less discreet. The 70/300 Is is much less performing to me. I am very satisfied and currently use it on Sony A7II and A7RII without any yield problem even with 42 Mpx. The stabilizer is great

Pros: Size, RING USM, STABILIZED

Cons: Unbalanced forward, tendency to leak, slight counterlight loss of contrast

Opinion: Bought from England to €350 on FF and APS-H I have not found all the problems of sharpness that you read around (will be a well-managed copy...!). Excellent focal range and is quietly in the backpack, it is not white and you notice little, fast and precise focus without uncertainties and the stabilizer is very effective. Excellent sharpness at F8 a little softer to TA, zero chromatic aberrations. I thought a lot before taking it and read a thousand reviews but in the end despite the doubts was excellent and much better expectations, at 300 and TA there is certainly better but overall has never given me unusable images, indeed. Real ones in a slight drop in contrast against light due to the construction DO but the lens hood helps a lot and the fact that for the weight of the front element the barrel tends to leak if pointed downward.

Pros: Those reported by everyone, length weight discretion and construction

Cons: At least in my model the zoom is rather hard because of the lens output, slightly unbalanced forward, new price.

Opinion: Starting with the assumption that it is now out of production and around the price of the used is definitely interesting, and from the fact that I owned 70-300 L-70-300 is and 70-200 F4 smooth. The 70-300 L is better, but I sold it because it was always at home for weight and its lack of discretion. The 70-300 is what you buy ... a good start to start and have fun. True comparison I'm going to do it with the 70-200 F4 that is smooth or little changes in my opinion because it is in this price range that is the used. RnOra for street use, how often have you "scared" Someone because you had the whitewash? I have several ... even those who wanted to be photographed were posing and the result was a photo to be thrown ... with this objective they will not notice you and they will not matter to you ... what i like ... rnIn Mountain how many times for the weight you left at home the 70-300 l i have so many ... rn Now we come to the comparison with the 70-200 F4: less objective lens and this one knows, between 70 and100 mm sticker a lot more ... between 100-200 are preteent are the same.rn soft 200-thread at the most open focal, well from F8 up.rn sharpness and here's my astonishment ... the DO is Definitely clearer to all the vowels of comparison from F8 up. Definitely and sorry for my length, if you take photographs of the day, travel and count weight is a professional goal to have, if instead look for a blade for good nights and You want to catch the hair at 250m you buy more ... rnAh ps: i do not know why but on apsc is extremely less clear and disapproved.rn

Pros: Weight, size, handling, making fast, stable fire

Cons: Focus sui generis, you have to close from F8 to F11

Opinion: We have to use it, use it and use it. After a hundred shots you can not tune into this kind of optics. The behavior of a difrattivo motorcycle is different from a lens "classic", 300 is softer, but in post production system, up to 250 I find it very good. Backlit suffers a little more of the harrier 70/300, but still the best 70/300 travel. Weighs less than 24/105, it has closed 10 cm, and honestly to make 30x40 prints has nothing to envy its concorrenti.rnho bought and sold everything, but I keep it, with all its faults, not least the focus that's not really Leica indeed is the opposite style. But when you have the sun behind him, well you're happy to have him. It will be because the "Sunday photographers" not healthy to use it, it will be because it is short and does "FIGO", the fact is that it is used at a ridiculous price. Good for those who buy it !!!

Pros: Size, weight, stabilizato, charge as used.

Cons: Price from new, backlit.

Opinion: Bought used in spain on EBAY for little more than one hundred Euros as spare parts, made in canon repair center for another two hundred euro, now own it for a year, I can only give an opinion fovorevole, Legero, where he is still an optical professional 70 -300mm with a weight of less than 800gr (720gr) .For those who like me in the past fifty, i guarantee that move to different shoulders kg atrezzatura, becomes a problema.Non that i can give you a more favorable opinion for this progettto technicians canon , Whereas it is' still present in the list 2000.Non I found all these defects listed by the master of casa.Ps (shot with Canon since 1970) .vorei agiungere finally, the advantage of having an external thread of only 58mm !! This helps to bring along even less weight, the joint diameter of these filters, without having to buy a set aposito normally generous and costly diameter, for people like me who uses brand filters niponiche!

Pros: Size, compactness, Af, L series, stabilization

Cons: from new price

Opinion: Using this lens for a few years, I'm no expert, but it is the goal that gave me the most satisfaction. I always carried with me allowing me to take pictures with other paintings that I could not shoot (simply because I would not have been able to bring them with me because of the size). I have not encountered problems of sharpness or contrast so serious as to be deemed irrecoverable in post production. Perhaps my judgment would have been different if I had paid 1700 Euros but, having gotten used to 650 € I think it was a great deal.

Pros: compactness, build quality, good AF and stabilizer

Cons: very poor image quality, exaggerated price

Opinion: The 70-300 DO is one of the few to use diffractive optical lenses, which give the opportunity to significantly reduce weight and bulk, was at the expense (at least in this goal) image quality. From a construction point of view it is equivalent to the optical L series: sturdy, USM autofocus type 'ring-type USM' (the fastest), image stabilization and a green ring that distinguishes it from the L series, which instead have the ring red. The dimensions are very small, it is just 10 cm long against the other 13-14 70-300 and more than 17 of the 70-200 f / 4; It weighs just 720g despite the robust construction. Unfortunately the image quality is very poor: the sharpness is poor, as well as the contrast; the limits of this perspective were already clearly visible on the SLR a few years ago (I had tried on the Canon 20D), and certainly would not recommend it on the current sensors, very dense and 'demanding' in terms ofthe optical quality. All this is coupled with a shocking price of around 1500 euro, a figure with which you can buy much higher optical. I do not recommend this.

Pros: Size, color rendering, excellent out of focus, good sharpness at all focal lengths, but only on FF stabilization; AF speed, reflexes against the resistance; soundness of L-series

Cons: A little heavy, the quality fell significantly when mounted on APSC, high price

Opinion: I have this lens era analogica.A that time gave me a lot of satisfaction for the good quality and the size .It 'handy to have in your pocket a 70 300-stabilized good qualità.rnPassato to digital (the first professional were APSC)' s i forgot the closet, until the purchase of the first FF (EOS 5) rnCon the FF and I rediscovered the species in the report always carry it in preference to its portability to even the most renowned optical

Pros: How many of you many times to leave home a Tele xchè bulky and heavy as to make it unusable? RnBè the Canon EF 70-300 DO IS USM is pretty much how long the 17-40 f/4L wide angle, Easy to carry and always on the Stock Exchange . Focusing fast, image quality levels of the series L.rnHo noticed that needs to be shut down a couple of stops to get good sharpness, but this is not a problem because you raise your iso Macchina.rn

Cons: Price a little high in the new .....

Opinion: If like me you want to experiment, this view is found Deale used to have in the bag a nice Tele Zoom 70-300 of excellent quality and the size ridotte.rnHa focus only one of its kind and the only DO technology the world to be equipped with a diffractive optical element. The introduction of a 3-layer diffractive optical element not only makes the lens lighter, but also ensures superb image quality. :-) Rnrnrn

Pros: Dimensions and weight very contained, making it a target for hunting irreplaceable photographic rambling, hiking and all those situations where weight and / or size is crucial; reduced diameter filters, stabilizer exceptionally effective, quick focus, very sturdy construction, excellent even if not amazing sharpness, good detail rendition and pleasing bokeh.

Cons: Price indeed high, in particular light conditions the colors can be a bit '"cold".

Opinion: The real Achilles' heel of this lens is the price, definitely determined, as well as the accuracy of construction and the materials used, its specific design, I have not found the phenomena of "flare" neither particular problems for what concerns the internal reflections . rnih Ultimately, in my opinion, if you do not have big budget problems and you prefer the compact lenses is definitely worth considering.
