We are by far professional photographers, but for the most part I liked the lens. We wanted something we could zoom a bit more than with what the Digital Rebel came with and it does great!
My only problem is that if I want to take a close up pic I have to switch back to the original lens. There is probably a reason for this that I am unaware of. Minor inconvienience for great zoom capability.

I actually bought this lens for my best friend so I did not use it. However, my best friend absolutely loves this lens. It does what the manufacturer said it could do and its been working without any glitches. Sorry I ca not comment more on operation of the lens. But in my opinion it gets a five star rating and I would purchase again as a gift.

Canon EF Lenses Have A Built In AF Motor..Compared To Camera Body-Based AF Motors, Lens-Based Motors Have Driving Energy With Lower Transmission Loss…The AF Operation Is Therefore Quick, Quiet, And Highly Precise…All EF Lenses Also Have EMD (Electromagnetic Diaphragm) To Control The Aperture Electronically…The Aperture Can Be Set Either With An Electronic Dial Or With The Electronic Pulse Signal Sent According To The Exposure Reading…The Aperture Control Is Therefore Precise And Umnatched…
To Go With Canon’s Reputation, They Introduce A Lens That Is Truely Immaculate…Its Telephoto Zoom From 75mm-300mm Is A Great Addition To A Current Setup With A 28-80mm Lens And Is Ideal For Shooting Sports, Wildlife, Or Portraits…It Can Compress An Image To Give Dramatic Effects…The Optics And Construction Are Compact And Lightweight (Compared To My Nikon FM Setup) And The 4x Zoom Is Great…A Very Steady Shot Even At Maximum Zoom…The Apature Stops Are Adaquate, Being f4-f5.6, But Could Be Wider…All In All An Awesome Lens For The Money…Another Canon Hit…
The Lens Is The Same As The EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III, However It Uses A USM To Drive The Autofocus Rather Than A DC Motor…
