There was a tiny piece of dust that was inside the lens (visible on right side in pics) that I didn't notice until after I took my photos, but I had it replaced super quickly and easily which is great support, and the new one is perfect.
This is a great beginner/budget zoom lens that is a big upgrade from the included kit lens on the Rebel T7. For the price, it does the job very well. The focal range covers a decent amount and I have only tested it at an air show, but it does make you work for the shot. Great value lens.
Some drawbacks though is that there is no image stabilization, and the autofocus can be pretty slow and get confused especially on faster moving objects. I already expected those issues, since you get what you pay for, but for something that isn't the USM or higher end lenses it did way better than I thought it would. I had to use manual focus a fair bit so I missed some shots, but the ones I managed to get turned out way better than I expected.
Overall for the price it is a great buy, especially if you plan on photographing slower/still subjects. For practice or casual/hobby photography this is a perfect starter for using telephoto/zoom lenses. I plan to try it on wildlife which may be easier than fast moving planes.

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens
This high-magnification zoom lens is the smallest and lightest in its class, offering ideal cost-performance. A lightweight glass material was used for the first element group – the heaviest group in the optical system – to reduce operational load during autofocus operation. Combined with the micro USM, the autofocus is quick and quiet. The slim exterior and smooth zooming makes this lens a delight to use.
- Filter size: 58mm
- Maximum aperture: f/4 - 5.6
- With micro USM motor

A budget telephoto lens for the poor
Interestingly, I am not a Canon user but rather a Fujifilm user who's using this lens with my X-T30 (via an adapter). If you know a thing or two about Fujifilm, it's that their lenses are pretty damn expensive. Even their budget telephoto lens costs around $400. So... as any poor person might do, and considering I already own an EF to Fuji X adapter, I decided to try this lens out which was $179 at the time of purchase.First thing I notice was a decrease in contrast and/or saturation. Second thing I notice was a major decrease in sharpness, mainly from the lack of OIS (and likely optics-wise as well). Definitely far from the sharpest lens out there; the Fujifilm XC telephoto lens is miles sharper. There is also significant purple fringing with this lens and it gets worse when zoomed all the way out. But for $180, I guess that's all to be expected; it is an old lens after all. Would not recommend buying this for more than $180.Telephoto aside, if you actually want a decent Canon lens for dirt cheap, the 50mm F1.8 (aka nifty fifty) has MUCH better optical quality. I own that one and love using it.

This is such a great lens especially for the price however the colour fringing on it is bad. The good news is you can use some tips a tricks to make the colour fringing not as bad and you can get rid of it in light room.

So far Iove this lens. I have not had any issues at all with it. It seems to keep up with everything I have been taking photos of and it even did that amazing picture of the Solar Eclipse in April. I honestly did not expect it to do that well but it did. It really surprised us. We are using this on the Canon R7. The shipping was fast and we haven't found any issues with the lens at all. Would recommend. Including if you are on a budget.
