Is a Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM worth the price?
Costco is selling this lens for $199. Would you buy it?
Thanks Dano |

If that is all you can afford then go for it, I would probably hold out for a better lens. I assume it is not the IS lens, if it is it is probably a bargain but there is still better for a little more. Cheers. Pete |

It is not as sharp wide open as a more expensive canon lens that costs two or three times as much but unsharp mask can level the playing field surprisingly well. Ben |

... Costco is selling this lens for $199. Would you buy it? Thanks Dano Hello Dano. Over her in the UK the reviews tend to suggest buying the 90-300mm lens rather than the 75-300. They usually reckon it is optically better than the 75-300 lens. Regards, Ian. |

wrote in message ... Costco is selling this lens for $199. Would you buy it? Thanks Dano Hi! I bought the EF 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM for my Canon 350D which I swapped for a 30D now. That lens is perhaps not as great as an L glass, but is well worth it. Marcel |

Ben Before I read your response here, I looked up the 70-300mm IS lens, and it's $550 (imported (gray market) is $20 less), but both are out of stock. Does anyone know if this lens is being replaced? It's relatively new. -- THIS IS A SIG LINE; NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY! United Nations chief nuclear weapons inspector Mohamed ElBaradei tried to cool tensions between the U.S. and Iran Thursday. He said it would be an act of sheer madness to attack Iran over its refusal to freeze their nuclear program. So it's a go. |

Sharpening soft optics beyond what it takes to reverse the effect of the anti-aliasing filter does not give great results, and can intensify noise quite a bit. There's nothing like a sharp lens to begin with, to cut through the noise. -- John P Sheehy |
