This lens is sharp in the full zoom range from 70-300mm. Tested it using maximum aperture 70, 100, 200 and 300mm. Of course is very sharp at f5.6-f8. I like that it is not too heavy or bulky. Works well with Canon RP + EF-RF adapter. Canon T2i, Canon 1DS Mk II. Image stabilisation in the lens work well and increases the sharp picture rate. Overall a very good lens.

Canon USM nano 70-300 zoom is a great lens for the price, especially when you get it open box or used, I'm impressed with this lens zooming in and getting that nice Bokeh effect, pretty sharp intact photo's and video's, and to me it's not too heavy for the size, and using this with the canon 90d is a great combination... now I have a great zoom lens for animals , people and some close up sports shots... I use mostly manual settings on video and pics, but putting this in automatic mode, gives you beautiful visuals right out of camera and using a great lens without breaking the bank makes a huge difference... I recommend this lens for most occasions.

I had the original 70-300mm and it was soft wide open and at 300mm and the af was VERY slow. I DID get some wonderful shot with it though but this lens corrects all the issues of it's predecessor. I find it tack sharp at all focal lengths and even wide open. The af is lightning fast and VERY accurate. I use it for wildlife and have had great success even with birds on the wing. I could not be happier and would highly recommend this lens to anyone.

A very good lens for sports photography. Using it on my APS-C bodies, I have a 480mm maximum focal length. The lens is sharp and substantial (and only 1/3 the price of its L series equivalent. Arrived in great shape with USA warranty card from Canon. It gets a little heavy after about an hour of shooting but produces great images.

Bought this as a replacement for my original 70-300 which stopped focusing and developed some lens fungus after many, many years of faithful service. Thought this would just be a replacement but it's a noticeable improvement - much, much faster and incredibly quiet autofocus and the image stabilization is good for more stops than the old version (can't say how many, exactly, but it's just better). A great grab and go lens with excellent image quality and great performance. Very happy.
