It is not bad 75-300 Zoom for the price what I paid for. But I didn’t get the sharpness what I want. I could not live with this slowest auto focusing zoom lens and I am happy that I sold it.

I was not sure at all when I ordered it. After I saw many reviews and Forum discussions I decided to get them. I ordered this Solid lens 50-500 along with Sigma’s 15-30. I am so happy that I got what I paid for. Worthy one If one can’t afford to get Canons 500 L like me. It is surely better and faster than Canon’s 75-300 IS which I sold a week ago.
I thing weight is not a mater here. If you want solid and well constructed Zoom lens with 50-500 APO, can’t expect lighter than this(1900 gm).
Of course its need more lights! Its clearly an outdoor and day light lens. If one set to higher ISO like 400 or 800 and aperture value above 8.0 can make great shots. A great 500mm for far shooters.
