This has been a very popular full frame telephoto zoom lens for a long time now. And recently it’s come down in price an awful lot. How does it really perform on full frame and APS-C cameras?

I’m wanting to get myself a good full frame telephoto for wildlife and I’m wondering what should I get. I have a really limited budget and so I’m left with basically two choices the Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM or the famous 70-200mm f4 USM.
Which one should I get?
Thanks 🙂
Mark 2 is out … i wonder who will win now. Tamron 70-300 Di vc usd against the new mark 2 lens. : Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM Lens

I am finding a great and affordable telephoto zoom lens for my Sony A5100, which lens should i buy? I
Hello, what do you recommend to use to take photos of the moon and stars?
The new Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM is out and priced $499, will you please do the review and show how much it is improved when compared to this old lens?
Hey would you either recommend the Canon 700D or the 750D . I am a newbie to photography but I would like a camera with great sharpness.
Also, which lens would you advise me to buy for landscape shots or normal person photography
when you do you close up image viewing are you at 100 percent.
How is it compared to Canon’s 55-250 lens (IS 2 version)?
Looking forward to the equivalent USM II lens test…
I have a canon eos rebel t5i can this lens work for that camera?
Which would you have in your bag ? This or the 55-250mm IS STM ?
canon 75-300usm or 55-250 IS II..
which is good?
are you going to review the new version of this lens, Christopher?
thanks
Hi sir plee tell me what do u think of ef 75 300 mm is. Usm lens
can’t wait to hear for your evaluation for EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM (new version) on full frame & APS-C 😉
I payed $250 for this one used. I feel robbed. Im new to photography and needed something with good zoom for zoo.
Hi Christopher.
I’m new to photography and have found your reviews invaluable. I love your work! Thank you.
I recently bought a Canon 80D which I love. I want to buy a decent zoom lens and have narrowed it down to three…..
1. CANON EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
2. TAMRON SP 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di VC USD
3. CANON EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM
Image quality across the range is important for me and I am not going to let the cost of the lens to be a consideration when buying, as I intend to get years of use out of the one I purchase.
Which lens would you recommend I buy?
my camera is an aps-c, is it better than 55-250 stm?
Hi Chris… Please help me out a bit. I am confused between 70-300 Canon vs tamron vc. I can see you prefer the Tamron vc but i found the canon for half the price ~$330. Is the trade-off worth it? Or should I wait longer and save up? (I am in a bit of hurry though)
Will you create a video on the mkII version of this lens?
Whats the price?
I have two questions the first is how fast is the auto focus and will it fit the cannon 7d
