good morning! someone of you has ever used this model of objectiv? i want to buy a tele for the eos 350d... there are a lot of objective and the choice isn't easy! i desire to know if the stabilizer is helpful on 300mm focal lenght... i've never tried to shot with a so "extreme" tele. thanks!

I have used this lens a lot. The IS does help get sharper photos. The really only knock on this lens that others have reported is slower focus than newer IS models and a little soft at 300mm. I have started using the 120-300 Sigma 2.8 lens as I needed a faster lens for night sports. But I was pleased with my copy of this lens of the 75-300 IS If you are looking at buying this lens, I might be interested in offering my copy for sale, as it has just been sitting for 4 months. Send me a PM if interested. Click on the link to see some photos taken with this lens.

I agree with Randy I have used a friends lens on and off, and find its a little slower not overly though, the IS helps somewhat and the pin sharpness is a true beauty, as usual Canon lenses I think IMHO are some of the best out there, you cant really go wrong, but I would check that the weight wont be a problem for you.
