I knew exactly what he meant by Lense. Now though that you've changed it to Lens I feel less sure of myself...

Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 3:46 pmI have a Canon EF 100-300mm, not the same lens as the 75-300mm but it works just fine.
75-300mm is 4x zoom which is more than enough, a 28-300mm would be more convenient but give lower quality pictures in the same price bracket. A "one size fits all" lens is going to be full of compromises.
What camera are you planning to mount this lens to? If it's something with a smaller sensor like the EOS 350D, your lens will be effectively increased by a factor of 1.6 so a 300mm behaves like a 480mm.

Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 5:32 pmYep, that's the same camera as mine. It's a great camera, I'm having lots of fun with it
US name: Canon Digital Rebel XT
European name: Canon EOS 350D
Japanese name: Canon EOS Kiss Digital N
Any lens you put on the front will function as if 1.6 times longer than on a 35mm film camera, so the 75-300mm will appear to be a 120-480mm. Very useful for airshows but watch out for camera shake at the long end of the zoom! Unfortunately the 18-55mm lens therefore functions like a 29-88mm which is less useful for landscape photos.

Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 7:01 pmso is the lens a good quality thought, like is it strong enough?
Re: lense
Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2006 2:09 amDepends on how much you're paying and which model you're looking at - is it a Mk II or III, does it have USM, etc.
Here is an excellent site, read at least this page before buying anything.

Not a bad lens, quality is a bit iffy at times but considering how inexpensive it is it's pretty much perfect when your on a budget.
