@warrior-princess Oh ok! I wasn’t sure since the thread was a month old.
Are you still thinking of getting the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6? Or are you considering another telephoto?
These were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel SL1 and the 75-300. They are some of the best photos that I have ever taken with this lens, so please keep that in mind. To get sharp photos, you really need to have good lighting and a close-ish subject. And, since there is no IS, you have to be really still. I used this lens when I was 12, and somehow I stood still enough to get clear pictures. I tried it again recently and it was a lot harder! If you use a tripod or are really good at holding your camera steady, then the lens works pretty well.
