Canon EF 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 DO IS USM Lens

[Brian500au]

Hi Elvie - I have to agree with Tony. If you are going to pony up for a 70-300 lens then I would strongly suggest the 70-300L. It is a stellar lens in every way - I personally own one, and like Tony, it does not see the light of day much (as I have it covered in other focal lengths). Where it does out do any other lens I own is as a tele walk around lens, and it is the first lens I pack when I am about to travel abroad.

The only other lens I would consider in this focal range would be one of the three available 70-200L lenses - with the advantage of being constant F4 aperture.

If $$$ are playing a role in your decision - keep an eye on both Ebay and Gumtree, although the latter is less safe unless you are personally inspecting and picking up the lens before you pay.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply to my help for selecting the right lens. I think I am going for the 70-300L I will check out all the details again then make my order.
