Everyone talks like the 75-300 is terrible. I think it is capable of descent images for the budget minded, like me! This was a hazy afternoon, and the wind was blowing pretty good, no tripod.

Zoomed In On Middle of Town... Maxed out at 300mm

And Finally, the kit lens with graduated tobacco filter... It was a little too dark for one from the car window, but I tried anyway... Here goes....

I think the 75-300 is a very capable lens, as long as the lighting is good. In lower light situations it struggles, but I'm budget mandated (I mean minded) too! I took these, https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=57775 the other day with my 75-300. It was bright and sunny and I think they show the 75-300 is a decent lens!

I like your shots. If you get the chance on a clear sunny day, I'd take them again and show the doubters what the 75-300 can do!

I like my 75-300, and I really like your number 3 shot.

I had the 75-300 for a couple of weeks. The quality was worth the $$$, but i was later pursuaded to give it to a friend for 10 bucks on top of the price i paid for it. Not bad eh :P Might even pic another up for my son when i pass on the 300D to him (when the 300D successor is announced though :P)

My vote is with #3 as well...something about the peach colored clouds appeals to me.

All the L lenses in the world won't help someone lacking in artistic sense and it's possible to take a masterpiece with a Polaroid, so don't worry that much about your equipment, unless you work for Sports Illustrated, National Geographic or something...
