Anyone use the 75-300mm F/4.0-5.6 on a 20D?

I was thinking of getting this lens for my 20D and I was wondering if anyone else has used it. I would love to get some L glass primes but I just can't afford that right now.

That is a consumer lens. You kinda get what you pay for. Check the reviews of it out here. Looks like it kinda gets ripped in the reviews.

I'd suggest either researching alternatives or saving up for better glass.

i have one for my RebelXT, i dont reccomend it, but if youre short on $, and need a lens, grab it up.. I'd save the money for something around $400-$600 or so.. dont spend that little money on a lens... not worth it unless it gets rave reviews...

you'd be better off getting this lens, with the IS

I had a 70-300 a long time ago, like back in the early 90's. I used to have a 75-300 IS (original version) and it was pretty good. The IS was very helpful with that lens, given its slow variable aperture. If you can swing it, I would suggest the 70-200 f/4L. Now that is one sweet lens.

I'm getting the 100-300 from my friend down in SoCal. Its used but still in good condition and for $160 shipped I couldn't pass it up. New it sold for $230. Now I'm going to start saving for the 50mm F/1.4 or 1.8 prime lens.
