This is a good lens. A little pricey but it's a lot of range for the money. It's a little heavy also. The sharpness is about the same as my other lens. I returned it but not because it wasn't a good lens. It was because it was heavy and about the same sharpness and picture quality as what I already have.

What's great about it: good wide to telephoto range
Canon EF 70~300mm f/4~5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens: If you're looking for a lens that gets you close to the action, this versatile telephoto zoom lens provides a longer reach for sports, weddings and events, nature photography and more. It's equipped with an image stabilizer, so you can create sharp photos and video while using slower shutter speeds. And when you're not shooting, the zoom lock button lets you keep the lens securely fixed in place.

I have a 55-250 Canon lense. I bought the 70-300 thinking it would give better results. It was basiclly the same. It's a good lense just not enough better than what I have to justify spending the money. Hope to buy a canon L lense in the future.
