Photography Question 

Dawn M. Dorland
 

Any Canon users have 70-300 IS ?


I am considering buying the Canon 70-300 F4-5.6 IS USM lens to replace my 75-300 non-IS. I shoot a lot of wildlife/birds/animals, so I dont really use a tripod for a lot of the shots. I desperatly need an IS tele lens for sharper images. I dont think I am far along in my photography skills enough to splurge on the lens I really want, the EF 100-400L IS. I shoot with a Canon 50D. Has anyone used the 70-300 lens, any opinions?

Hi Dawn,
Splurge for the 100-400. It was one of the 1st L lenses I bought 5+ years ago and its still one of my very favorites.
Its mounted on may 5D Mk II right now as I have been trying to capture a large black bear that has moved into the forest across the street from me but he is a night-time kinda bear so though I have seen him a few times, I need to catch him in the daytime :)
Here is a pic with my 100-400mm lens.
Cheers,
Carlton
