does the job
i see some reviews bashing it. I bot this when I got the Digital rebel a few years ago. It works really well, even for sports action. I know it does not have image stabilization, but I was still able to take some great shots. You will get some out of focus shots with heavy movement, but that is why I have a big memory card.
If you are not shooting sports, then it is a no brainer. Works well with the Rebel line and takes great shots. Never had a problem with it.

good quality lens at a resonable cost. great for use with a tripod. if not using a tripod you should invest the extra money and the lens with the image stabilazation.

This was a Christmas present for my husband and he seems to love it so far. It is a nice extra to have with his other lens. I would order from this company again.
canon ef 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens
I am not a pro so when I wanted to buy a telephoto lens there were a lot of choices. After a lot of thought I decided to go with a less exspensive lens and I have been happy with the choice so far. The one problem that I have had with it is indoors using the flash. This causes the worst red eye I have ever seen. I have taken a lot of shots so far and I am happy with it.
