Gotta love a cheap lens, but to be fair even some expensive ones have Chromatic aberration too. It’s a great starter lens for the new photography that will eventually leave them wanting more
This video was super helpful, and most importantly it was easy to understand! I'm just going to buy the same Lens so I thought I'd do a but more research on it, and found your video..... keep posting similar video about lenses and stuff plz
Thanks brother🙌🏻 I have about 7 more videos scheduled for the next 2 weeks already 😭 and thank you I truly appreciate that keep up the awesome work on your channel too my man🍻
I just got this for my M50 used for $80. It's amazing with the viltrox speedbooster and it's my first telephoto lens. Thanks for making this video, it helped confirm that I made the right choice!
I bought a canon 3000 35mm at goodwill that came with this lens and also a smaller one. Paid $35 not knowing if it was a good deal, I have no interest at the moment getting into 35mm film again, so I was hoping the lenses were worth the $35.
What can you expect from a budget lens. This is for those who love to capture photos for themselves (particularly amateur photography and personal use). I know this isn't a great lens but for its price it's good. I have a Canon 200d mark 2 and 3 lens 50mm/18-55mm/ and this 75-300mm lens. This is a good Telephoto lens for a beginner like me. Love It ❤️
I absolutely love this lens! 😀 I have Rokinon, Irix, Sigma Art, and other Canon lenses; and I have never felt I was above this lens! This is a GREAT entry lense. Before Covid came, I did outdoor nude natural light photography; and this lens was amazing for SOME applications in brighter lights. Last, when you shoot BnW, many of the issues go away. :) Good Review Sir :)
Another good video, like the 18-55 review you did, this is a decent lens, think you proved it with your images, yes it might have limitations but so do a lot of lens, for the money as a kit lens its more than most people will need
@@JordanHandwerker agreed I think a lot of people get disappointed when they post on photographic groups, and get negative comments by the kit snobs, most important is to learn your camera, inside out, then learn to edit, only then splash out on expensive gear, when money allows, never get I debt for it, keep up the good work mate
I bought this as my first lens to go with a 5D mark II. At face value it is good for the price. For capturing moments it has worked really well, and for posting to sites like Facebook and Instagram, the images are absolutely fine. The problem I have now is that I am chasing image quality, which I just can't get from this lens and camera body combo. Without IS I need to up the shutter speed, and therefore the ISO which isn't handled well. There is a lot of chromatic aberration and overall lack of sharpness. All that being said, I'm absolutely going to hold on to it. I have taken some stunning images on a tripod with longer exposures and to have 70-300 range from a lightweight lens is great when you just want to capture a moment.
Oh for sure it has its limitations but it’s a good throw around lens like if you’re going to the beach of something where you probably wouldn’t want to bring a more expensive one
Seriously considering getting this lens, I’ve watched a guy compare it to a Canon 70-200mm which costs £3000 and he kept complaining about the bokeh the 75-300mm produces, calling it ‘unprofessional’ because it wasn’t as smooth as the bokeh on the £3000 lens but I actually really like the look of the bokeh on the 75-300mm, I like round bokeh and let’s not forget that this lens classifies as a vintage lens which is where the bokeh comes from, some people like vintage bokeh better than others Two points I’ll agree about is no IS and Chromatic Aberration being a pain, but chromatic aberration doesn’t seem to be too troubling at narrower apertures (I think it’s manageable and there’s also editing software to fix it if necessary) and I typically use a tripod for shooting, I think it’ll be a nice landscape lens for a reasonable price It also looks really sharp, definitely soft compared to the best lenses on a market but it costs almost nothing 🤦♂️ What I realise is that only people who can’t afford the best of the best are the ones who appreciate the cheapest there is to offer
It’s a decent lens and honestly I’ve used it for both photo and video, it’s a decent lens for what it is. At 300mm the compression is good enough that you’ll get the desired results as long as your subject is distanced enough from the background. In all the Image stabilization is the biggest downside I can deal with the Chromatic Aberration in post
@@JordanHandwerker I initially wanted to buy it for wildlife but I think it will do a good lens for landscape. Image Stabilisation isn’t needed when mounted on a tripod and I’d always choose telephoto over wide angle for landscape because wide angle reduces the size of everything
There is the EF-M 55-250mm lens for the M50 but yes you would just have to adapt this lens to your M50 with an Adapter. It’s a great lens for photos and video
Hey Jordan! Great review on the lens! Out of curiosity, what lens/camera are you using to video this vlog? The quality is amazing and I am in the market for a good blogging lens. I have a cannon M50, not looking to spend much more (can't offer the 1k lens at the time). Hope to hear from you soon!
I believe that was shot with my Canon EOS Rebel SL3. Which is very Similar to the M50 ( one’s a DSLR and the other being Mirrorless) but both having the same processor and specs, I shot that in 4K also. You might want to look into buying a Speed Booster for the M50 and adapting EF lenses to it
I know this is an older video but someone had just this lens with there rebel T7 could you take regular pictures with it? Or is it just for shooting far away??
Well even at the short end on the T7 @75mm it would be equivalent to 120mm with the crop factor, and the short focusing distance on this lens is 5 feet so yes you could but you’d need to distance yourself about 9ft from a subject
I have invested in some decent glass for overall shooting. The EF 50mm F1.4 USM, RF 24-105 F/4.0L and I'm getting one of these just to try it out. I barely shoot anything above what 24-105 can do, so it wouldn't make too much sense to invest in an L glass for telephoto. This seems like a cheap, but cheerful option for it. And if I don't like it, I guess I can flip it anyway.
100% I have a plethora of lenses and I originally sold this lens but ended up buying another one off of the FB market place just to have that 75-300 focal range again! I have a Tamron 70-210 f/4 but nothing really in between that so definitely a good option
@@JordanHandwerker Yeah, the 300mm is useful range. When I was shooting on APS-C, my main shooter was Sigma 18-300. Not the sharpest lens but did everything. Went to a wildlife park and the 24-105 just did not do the trick. Somehow randomly managed to dig up a Tamron 55-200. I hadn't touched it for like forever since sigma made it quite unnecessary, and I didn't use it after thinking it was a crop sensor lens. It wasn't! Wishing that I had it now at the park 😅
Ended up getting this lens, and what can I say. Every single bit of criticism given about it is valid, but over the top. Chromatic aberration can be somewhat fixed in post, and unless you're pixel-peeping you can't really see it. The autofocus is sluggish and loud, but in a bright day at far distances does the job just fine. And the sharpness.. it's not gonna win any awards but it's not terrible. Image stabilization is the only feature I'm missing, but knowing it only cost me £80 to get, it would be a sin to complain about it.
Exactly my point! Like it’s not the greatest lens but for what it is, it does everything you need it too and a majority of the issues are fixable ( besides Image stabilization)
Hey Jordan, I was wondering if this lens would be good for action shots like basketball? I saw some comments mentioning sports so I just wanted know what you think?
Yes and no. Main reason why I say no is the lack of image stabilization, you could use it if you can keep your shutter speed 1/250 or fast and depending on your camera system. If you get a lot of grain/noise past 1600 iso this may not be the best option due to the variable changing Aperture through focal ranges. Worst care scenario is you buy a used one and see if it’s suitable for Sports. If you’re shooting outdoors during the day you could be able to get away with using it but indoors it may suffer
I recently went for this lens as I wanted a cheap telephoto lens for my M series camera that would also work if I upgrade to full frame. Thats what puts me off the 55-250, since it would only be suitable for APS-C, and especially now canon have effectively killed their DSLR and M range, EF-M lenses only seem a good investment if you want the compact size, and EF-S seems a waste of money unless you have an APS-C DSLR. From what I've seen so far it's a decent lens, especially for the price. The lack of IS isn't great, but I find that the M50 will produce fairly decent results at higher ISOs, so hand held is reasonable in good light. Only real downside I've found is that it eats my battery.
Yeah it’s wild Canon makes various lenses for different mounts which I get it, more money from people who want different systems but the EF mount is so popular that they easily could have just made the M50 with an EF attachment, but that would have made the m50 a lot bigger as the EF-M glass as a smaller and closer flange because there’s no need to the mirror. That being said this lens is decent for what it is and most of the color fringing/Chromatic aberration can be fixed in post
@@JordanHandwerker the frustrating thing is that they are now bringing out an APS-C version of the R, which will be compatible with it's own lenses as well as R lenses, EF and EF-S (with an adaptor) but won't be compatible with EF-M.
I think with more recent cameras ( 90d, T8i, EOS R systems ) anything released in the last 2-3 years I would say that the Autofocusing system is much better now than it has been. So there should be a potential increase in accuracy to some degree. But it will probably Unfortunately never out perform higher end lenses
Even on my EOS RP compared to my T7 the Autofocus had slight advantages on the RP over the T7 mainly the fact the EOS RP has full time live autofocusing
I’m not sure? What are you adapting it to? Also I’ve only used a Viltrox Speed booster on my BMPCC 4K which doesn’t have autofocus capabilities so I’m really not sure.
I am looking for a lens that will be good for a Taekwondo tournament. I'll need to take some up close shots but also some more at a distance. Would this be a good lens or do you recommend something else?
Do you already own a telephoto lens? Depending on what camera you’re using too. This may not be the best lens for older DSLRs unless you’re able to push the ISO up to 6,400 without a lot of noise. This lens would work but may have its downsides due to the Aperture
@@EmilySTheCountryCook if you’re going to be inside a a building the Aperture will really work against you, just take that into consideration. Also depends on how far you will be from the action too. If you’re going to be up close something like a 50 - 100mm might be best depending on if you’re using a full frame camera or an aps-c camera too
It definitely could, I will add if you’re using it indoors you’ll most likely have to up your ISO to keep your shutter speed fast, I would aim to keep the shutter speed 1/400 or faster to capture the action
There is no lens or camera for beginners, that is to make you buy the most expensive or skip the cheapest. When you don't know, anyone is good, the important thing is that you fit in and that you master the dynamics of photography and that comes with years and practice.
Hi! I was wondering if these lens are capable enough of being “photography professional” enough to shoot for family pictures? or would you recommend some specific lens for a Eos Rebel t7?
Hey! I’m sorry for the late reply, I think you could use this at the longer focal length around 135-300 and get some great compression with it but if you wanted something that will keep you close to your clients I would recommend the 50mm f/1.8 if you don’t already own one! It’s a much better lens as you wouldn’t have to distance yourself so far away from the clients
Hi! Great Video man. One question: does this lens works with eos rp through adapter without aby issues? I mean are autofocus and whole Electronic working?
Well you could use it for music videos, the only problem is, there is no Image Stabilization, so you will definitely need to either Use a Tripod, or stabilize the footage in post ( which may or may not work )
This lens in combination with the m50, would it be good for sportsphotography for example football ⚽? I know the issues of the image stabilisation, i could use a tripod. I'm just scared because of the autofocus. The m50 seems to have great autofocus (following things with the focus etc). Im scared that it wont work as good with that lens and the player i want to focus might be blurry
As long as you keep your shutter speed fast enough 1/250 or faster than you shouldn’t have an issue with sharpness, as long as your adapter is Canon, I would assume cheaper adapters may lack in the speed next to a canon adapter. I would say if you can find a cheap used version of this lens than go for it! I have definitely seen people use it for sports photography. The AF should be good enough for running subjects, as I have used this lens on drift/car tracks
Not sure about why they’re coming out blurry?🤔 perhaps shoot in live view mode and pull focus that way. If they still come out blurry than it could be the lens. Other than that yes this uses the EF mount so I would assume that this should be able to be used on the T2i
@@JordanHandwerker I wasted no time and tried it out immediately. My camera was already on live mode so I switched it to quick mode and it worked on there. The problem was me not knowing how to work the lens and because my arms were shaking a lot, it caused the focus to go out. So right now, I used my shoulder to rest my arm and stabilize the camera. Thank you. The 75/300mn is one of two lenses I own right now, I also own the 55mn and that is by far my most used lens. I got the 75mn first but i had difficulties which caused me to purchase the 55 mn. Right now,‘I am looking for other lenses I can buy on budget that can work on an EF camera, I would like to ask if you have any recommendations ??
I would suggest a 24mm EF or EF-S lens. ( will be a 38mm equivalent on a crop sensor), but will give you a good focal length for a variety of different styles/Shots. Also 8MM fisheye lenses are fun too if you want a quirky lens to play with
Depends on what camera you’re using. But because I havent used it for sports ( only drifting photography ) I can say no, mostly because it doesn’t have image stabilization. That being said you’d want to be around 1/250 or faster if you did use it
@@JordanHandwerker Thanks for getting back. I just bought the Canon Rebel T7.. it just came with the 18-55mm lens. I'm really just learning.. and this Canon 75-300mm seem like a decent option for a complete beginner to shoot the moon.. and birds i want to mostly photograph
Definitely is a great starter option! You can’t go wrong with it, it does have a little bit of purple color fringing on highlighted areas but you can easily remove it from the image in post processing! Happy snapping
@@JordanHandwerker: No. I bought this camera (Canon EOS 2000D) in January of this year, 2021. The model number on it is the European number of the USAs EOS Rebel T7. Although I AM in the United States, it was about $75 less to buy the European name-plated one.
@@charlessands6933 hmm that’s interesting, well I know it sounds counterintuitive but you can buy a used kit lens fairly inexpensive just about anywhere, most of them sell for about $50 or so maybe a little north depending. But that’s only if you want the Image Stability
Hey Jordan! I recently used this lens on a family trip up to Waupaca, WI, and saw an eagle family hanging around and saw a juvenile eagle diving down catching a massive pike and flew above us and I managed to take these two great pictures! ua-cam.com/video/C5QlRDK4iss/v-deo.html
Chromatic aberration and color fringing yes. As far as soft, I wouldn’t say it’s terrible, I’ve gotten some pretty solid photos with it myself. Plus most people get it when they buy a camera bundle
I also received mine in the bundle as well. Unfortunately these don’t come with lens hoods ( I feel that they should ) I mean as a “Beginners Lens” it’s not terrible
Awesome video man, in depth and straight forward. Cheers!

Do you already own a telephoto lens? Depending on what camera you’re using too. This may not be the best lens for older DSLRs unless you’re able to push the ISO up to 6,400 without a lot of noise.
This lens would work but may have its downsides due to the Aperture
@@JordanHandwerker I do own a telephoto lens. I wasn't planning on using it though. Thank you for the reply!
@@EmilySTheCountryCook if you’re going to be inside a a building the Aperture will really work against you, just take that into consideration. Also depends on how far you will be from the action too. If you’re going to be up close something like a 50 - 100mm might be best depending on if you’re using a full frame camera or an aps-c camera too
A bruh’s review.
Can it be used for beginners sports photography?
It definitely could, I will add if you’re using it indoors you’ll most likely have to up your ISO to keep your shutter speed fast, I would aim to keep the shutter speed 1/400 or faster to capture the action
There is no lens or camera for beginners, that is to make you buy the most expensive or skip the cheapest. When you don't know, anyone is good, the important thing is that you fit in and that you master the dynamics of photography and that comes with years and practice.
Hi! I was wondering if these lens are capable enough of being “photography professional” enough to shoot for family pictures? or would you recommend some specific lens for a Eos Rebel t7?
Hey! I’m sorry for the late reply, I think you could use this at the longer focal length around 135-300 and get some great compression with it but if you wanted something that will keep you close to your clients I would recommend the 50mm f/1.8 if you don’t already own one! It’s a much better lens as you wouldn’t have to distance yourself so far away from the clients
@@JordanHandwerker thank you so much! ordering one now!
You’re welcome! Enjoy it🍻
Hi! Great Video man. One question: does this lens works with eos rp through adapter without aby issues? I mean are autofocus and whole Electronic working?
Yes, I use mine on my RP all the time, the Autofocus works good although a little Lackluster but no issues
@@JordanHandwerker Thanks a lot!
@@jazzjazzy6079 you’re most welcome!
can i use this on my canon eos250d?
Yes
Is it good for taking music videos or just photos
Well you could use it for music videos, the only problem is, there is no Image Stabilization, so you will definitely need to either Use a Tripod, or stabilize the footage in post ( which may or may not work )
This lens in combination with the m50, would it be good for sportsphotography for example football ⚽? I know the issues of the image stabilisation, i could use a tripod. I'm just scared because of the autofocus. The m50 seems to have great autofocus (following things with the focus etc). Im scared that it wont work as good with that lens and the player i want to focus might be blurry
As long as you keep your shutter speed fast enough 1/250 or faster than you shouldn’t have an issue with sharpness, as long as your adapter is Canon, I would assume cheaper adapters may lack in the speed next to a canon adapter. I would say if you can find a cheap used version of this lens than go for it! I have definitely seen people use it for sports photography. The AF should be good enough for running subjects, as I have used this lens on drift/car tracks
@@JordanHandwerkerAlright, thank you very much
@nicolotiderechte1812 you’re welcome
This is suitable for canon 200d ii..?
Yes
Can I use this on my t2i?? I have previously attached it but images are very blurry. What can I do ??
Not sure about why they’re coming out blurry?🤔 perhaps shoot in live view mode and pull focus that way. If they still come out blurry than it could be the lens.
Other than that yes this uses the EF mount so I would assume that this should be able to be used on the T2i
@@JordanHandwerker i will try it out today and get back to you. In the meantime, thank you for you wisdom, knowledge and quick response.
@@Ellesappellejejeje you’re welcome 🍻
@@JordanHandwerker I wasted no time and tried it out immediately. My camera was already on live mode so I switched it to quick mode and it worked on there. The problem was me not knowing how to work the lens and because my arms were shaking a lot, it caused the focus to go out. So right now, I used my shoulder to rest my arm and stabilize the camera. Thank you. The 75/300mn is one of two lenses I own right now, I also own the 55mn and that is by far my most used lens. I got the 75mn first but i had difficulties which caused me to purchase the 55 mn. Right now,‘I am looking for other lenses I can buy on budget that can work on an EF camera, I would like to ask if you have any recommendations ??
I would suggest a 24mm EF or EF-S lens. ( will be a 38mm equivalent on a crop sensor), but will give you a good focal length for a variety of different styles/Shots. Also 8MM fisheye lenses are fun too if you want a quirky lens to play with
Can I use this lens for canon 3000d ?!
Does it use the Canon EF mount? If so than yes
Can I use for eos 1300d ?
Yep
I have a t100 Is that good for this lens?
If it has the EF or EF-S lens mount yes
Can I use this lens 250D
Yep I use it on my 250D
@@JordanHandwerker is good
can used to 800d ?
Yes
Ehy Jordan, I saw it on Marketplace for 180$. Is it a lot?! Thank you
180$AUD
So roughly $95 USD not terrible, if you can talk them down a little I think you’d be alright
@@JordanHandwerker thank you (:
@@martinacolombo2054 you’re welcome
Is it good for sports photography?
Depends on what camera you’re using. But because I havent used it for sports ( only drifting photography ) I can say no, mostly because it doesn’t have image stabilization. That being said you’d want to be around 1/250 or faster if you did use it
I need a lens that can take pics of the moon that isn't too pricey. What would be the best?
What are you shooting on? Full frame or APs-C? This lens would work but you’ll want to stop the Aperture down around f/8 to sharpen the moon up a bit
@@JordanHandwerker Thanks for getting back. I just bought the Canon Rebel T7.. it just came with the 18-55mm lens. I'm really just learning.. and this Canon 75-300mm seem like a decent option for a complete beginner to shoot the moon.. and birds i want to mostly photograph
Definitely is a great starter option! You can’t go wrong with it, it does have a little bit of purple color fringing on highlighted areas but you can easily remove it from the image in post processing! Happy snapping
What mic do you use the sound it great!! :)
I believe at the time it was my Synco M3 shotgun microphone I’ve upgraded since
@@JordanHandwerker which one do you use now?
The Polsen SCL-1080 I did a review on it recently
@@JordanHandwerker watching it now!:). Thanks
Thank you !
My 18-55 kit doesn't have IS. ???
Hmmm is it old? I’m almost 99% sure any kit lens ( 18-55mm) that came out in the last 6 years should have image stabilization
@@JordanHandwerker: No. I bought this camera (Canon EOS 2000D) in January of this year, 2021. The model number on it is the European number of the USAs EOS Rebel T7. Although I AM in the United States, it was about $75 less to buy the European name-plated one.
@@charlessands6933 hmm that’s interesting, well I know it sounds counterintuitive but you can buy a used kit lens fairly inexpensive just about anywhere, most of them sell for about $50 or so maybe a little north depending.
But that’s only if you want the Image Stability
Hey Jordan! I recently used this lens on a family trip up to Waupaca, WI, and saw an eagle family hanging around and saw a juvenile eagle diving down catching a massive pike and flew above us and I managed to take these two great pictures! ua-cam.com/video/C5QlRDK4iss/v-deo.html
Yeah those came out amazing, great job on those ❤️
@@JordanHandwerker thanks!
Absolutely keep up the amazing work
Sl3
Yes
Everyone drink when specifically is said 🙄
Stay hydrated 😂
Great bang for your buck lens. And its not made in China! Woohoo!
This lens SUCKS! It's soft and cramatic aberration and color fringing is HORRIBLE!!!!!!! Other than that it's an awesome lens!
Chromatic aberration and color fringing yes. As far as soft, I wouldn’t say it’s terrible, I’ve gotten some pretty solid photos with it myself. Plus most people get it when they buy a camera bundle
@@JordanHandwerker I got mine in a bundle. I guess the fringing is so bad it looks soft to me.
I also received mine in the bundle as well. Unfortunately these don’t come with lens hoods ( I feel that they should ) I mean as a “Beginners Lens” it’s not terrible
@@JordanHandwerker my copy sucks lol 😆
Sell it, you’ll get about $75 or so for it
Boring Intro. Sorry. But i skipped,
I mean I don’t really care, kinda gay to even comment this shit
@@JordanHandwerkerit's a good video and helped me out a lot... Idk how he is gonna do photography when he is bored so easily
Thank you
Can i use this on eos 1500d?
Yes
