My first image stabilizing lens
Well today I was like a kid with a new toy just got my new 70-300 mm this is my first image stabilizing lens so I was excited to try it out
so i took off my 70-200 4 L probably a good lens to compare with.
Well first thing is the weight it's light and inconspicuous compared to my 70-200 L with its black finish ,
it feels very nice and its fast to focus, image stabilizion is excellent (Featuring the latest 3-stop Image Stabilizer for camera shake reduction) and the range is great 112mm to 480 mm on my XT Rebel.
Colours and sharpnesss are a not nice as my 70-200 f4 L
but image stabilization and weight and extra range make it very attractive , I am happy with it would liked a pouch and hood for the money come on canon it's only a piece of plastic!
see some picture unedited and some edited on my site
p.s I am not a professional.
