TPF Noob!
75-300mm came with my camera. but retails around 150-200.
I don't think I'd go out and buy it specifically though.

I admit i own one of these and do have a few decent shots from it that surprised me for quality,is it worth the money yes it is worth the money @ 75-300mm ,it is however known as the worst lens Canon makes, it is slow and focus is slow on top of that,i do not recomend it for fast moving subjects its place is more on the lines of still subjects and nature mostly.This lens has a tendancy to require some what more then normal contrast and highlight ballancing, and purple fringe is very noticableSo is the Canon EF 75-300 mm f/4 - 5.6 III a good lens for the money and useful to have?
Thats not a bad choice but if that's too expensive. I would consider the Canon 70 - 300 f/4-5.6 IS USM. It's quite a step up in optics from the 75-300. The IS will help on those moving subjects(two stage IS) USM focus is good also and all in all it's a pretty sharp lens for the money.I admit i own one of these and do have a few decent shots from it that surprised me for quality,is it worth the money yes it is worth the money @ 75-300mm ,it is however known as the worst lens Canon makes, it is slow and focus is slow on top of that,i do not recomend it for fast moving subjects its place is more on the lines of still subjects and nature mostly.This lens has a tendancy to require some what more then normal contrast and highlight ballancing, and purple fringe is very noticable
If you can swing it i would spend the 560.00 on the 70-200 f 4.0 L
A lot of what I do in my profession now I've learned by accident in addition to college. I've been learning photography the same way I've learned what I do. This forum has been very helpful as well. Made it easier to answer questions in minutes which might have taken me hours or days to figure out.
