Great Telephoto Lens for Canon Rebel XT

TLHobie from Coral Springs, FL

I bought the Quantaray 70-300mm lens for my Canon Rebel XT back in Dec06. I primarily shoot outside near the water. I read all of the pros and cons on both this lens and the Canon equivalent and chose this one because Ritz gave me a money back guarantee. If I didn't like the pics that I was going to take that weekend, the sales rep was going to give me my money back. How could I go wrong? My first time out with the camera was a big Hobie Cat sailing event at the beach. I handheld the camera (even with a sling on my right shoulder) and took fantastic shots of an amazing day at the beach in December 2006. I couldn't be happier with this lens. I hated this equivalent lens on my Nikon N65 35mm. It was as bad as the reviews, but not this Canon Quantaray lens. Buy it, it's definitely worth the money. Read more

Great Telephoto/Macro Lens

Great Telephoto/Macro Lens

RM7065 from Orlando, Florida

I bought this lens along with a Canon Rebel XT because I was interested in photographing far subjects and close subjects. With its added Macro shooting feature and telephoto range it allowed me to have both the things I needed in one affordable lens. I am not a professional, just a hobbyist and I have not used expensive Genuine Canon lenses so I cannot tell you if this lens' photos can compare to them. The lens is a bit heavy and holding it with one hand while hanging from the strap on your neck can start to wear your forearm a bit. If you are new to digital SLR photography and are looking to do some practice without spending too much money then I suggest you buy this lens because with the price you can't go wrong. Later in the future when I have more income I might step it up and buy a more expensive Canon lens. Below are some photos taken with the Rebel XT using this lens. People say bad things about lenses, but I often believe that it's not the lens's fault.. it's the photographer' … Read more

Great Multipurpose lens

RM7065 from Orlando, Florida

I just purchased a Canon Digital Rebel XT and noticing how expensive the Canon brand lenses were I opted for this Quantaray model. I was happy with the lens included with the camera but I wanted something with a little more zoom. The other feature that attacted me was the Macro feature. Usually there are lenses that are strictly for macro photography but this lense had that feature along with its telephoto capability. I believe that for the amateur photographer this lens is a bargain and it gives great results. Just look at the photos I posted. Read more

Great Lens for the money!!!

Kemling from Nashville,TN

I was surprised at how well this lens puts out sharp detailed images. I love the macro feature,too! My portraits get that awesome background blur and shows a ton of detail! I bought it, initially, as a starter lens (couldn't afford the Canon lens that I want), but don't see the need to replace it unless it is no longer able to be used. Read more

Very Nice

opofcabo from Seattle, WA

For the price verus the mose expensive lenses of the same focal range this is a great buy. I use it on my Canon EOS Rebel XTi and it focuses just as quickly as the 18-55mm Canon lense, that came with the camera, with the same clear and sharp images. I actually like the feel of the grip better then the much more expensive Canon lense and for the less then professional user it gets the same kind of results as the higher cost lenses Read more
