I found that there is not a thread for the 75-300 f4-5.6 III Non USM, so I guess this is the closest. This lens came with my 1000d kit.

My keeper to garbage ratio favours the latter however I have got some nice shots from it, although I hardly ever use it.

Glad I found this thread. I thought it was me.:D Now I know it's not, it"s canon's worst zoom lens. I have always been frustrated, it always seems soft, autofocus hunts on a regular basis. Missed alot of shots. I have tried shooting RAW and pp'ing it but I was never happy. It was a hand me down from my brother along with an Xti when he upgraded. So the price was right.
But sometimes a get a good one like this.

Wow lol, a lot of hate for this lens, I just recently picked one up, I think the lens is pretty nice personally (though I am a beginner with only 3 1/2 years of hobby shooting under my belt), here are a few shots I got yesterday...

I have been using this lens since 2004. It is not as bad as people say. Just have to know its limitations.

I sold this lens a while ago and borrowed my friends yesterday, the lens can produce Ok Images after a bit of PP (ive found mainly contrast and curves).. no matter what I do, no matter what setting or mode even the green box, both my old and my friends copy of this lens produce garbage pictures SOOC. The AF is also extremely slow and completely useless for sports.

IMO, not a bad lens for its cost and physical size.
