I bought a used Canon EF 75-300 f4-5.6 III Zoom lens. I'm using it on an old Canon 5E Mark II full frame camera. I was surprised because the lens tends to get some bad reviews. But, I only paid $80 for a lens that was basically new and the pictures are sharp as long as you hold the camera steady. Now for video, it's a little trickier because you really need to use a tripod to get the video smooth. It's harder to hold the camera still for videos with a lens like this. For my purposes, to get some photos of birds or something in the distance, I'm sure I'll take plenty of very good looking and sharp pictures with it. It's not a professional quality lens but it is much better than I thought it would be.

We upgraded to this canon Ef 75-300 mm lens and we couldnt be happier. This lens takes nice crisp pictures both at a distance and up close. See attached pics, last was taken at a distance of about 30 feet away. It takes nice pics both in black and white and in color the sharpness is the same. The only downfall of the lens to me is it is heavy but it is a large lens so that is to be expected. I am older so it is hard to hold steady at times however I knew this when buying so it is no fault of the lens or of cannon. It is a great lens for the beginner and yet takes pics nice enough to frame and display in your living room. The first picture below was enlarged and is sitting on my mantel

Fast shipping and great price! Just what I needed for my mountain pictures! I could zoom into the other mountain and see the shutters on another cabin! I wasn’t being creepy; that’s the only thing other than trees I could test the total focus with. It wasn’t very sharp at that zoom but clear enough too tell the shutters and the color on the cabin. So this will be great for long distance photos at games and other places too!

This lens is not a high-quality, precision instrument by Canon, but I knew that going in. I purchased this for my 1990's film camera. (Lens technology has since improved unbelievably.) I got what I expected and it works very well. It replaces an old beat up, unusable Sigma lens. This lens is brand new and very reasonably priced.

It easily shows the grits on roof shingles at 40 feet away, as when mounted on my Samsung NX500 on a Canon adapter. Only too bad that with adapter, only manual focus is possible. But focus peaking does help with that. Again with adapter, there is no way to control its aperture. Overall though, a good lens worthy of its brand.
