The camera doesn’t have IS but the lens might. If it is an IS lens then grab it, it would be about 1/4 the normal price. It seems about right the right price for the 75 – 300 USM lens.
Then It probably doesn’t have it, I can check back and see. Of course even if it DOES and is at that Incredible price, I don’t have the funds to snag it right now anyway
I got a rebel XTi from wolf about a week ago for my trip to Nicaragua next week, and I bet that’s the tele lens I got with it (in addition to the kit lens). It’s decent… the telephoto equivalent to the pack-in 18-55 lens. I’m happy to have it, but am definitely looking forward to getting faster lenses to replace the two I currently have. Probably won’t happen until late in the year, though.
Is it for sure the 75-300 or the 70-300? The 70-300 is a newer design, while the 75-300 is older and the image quality isn’t quite as good. For a lens that long, you are probably going to want image stabilization, because the aperture is very dark and you’ll need extremely bright light (bright sunny day light) to get hand-holdable shutter speeds.
I will look out for the 70-300 .. question, what can I expect to get for the 200 area? I dont have a lot of cash to spare,, but might be able to get away with that much
I have that lens. I think that is about what I paid. It isn’t a bad lens, but it isnt a great lens. It is fun to play around with, but like Elsinore said you will need a tripod or lots of light to get good shots.
