Hi All,

Just received my new Canon 70-300mm IS Zoom lens (HK special) so took it down to Roma St gardens at lunchtime to see whether it stacked up.

I was impressed with the IS ... 1/30th sec handheld possible at 300mm!

The sharpness is great. This is a new lens and has one element of UD glass and it really has boosted up the resolution performance throughout the zoom range.

Anyway, here's a selection...I've even broken my taboo on photographing birds

cheers,

Rob

Looks like a nice sharp lens Rob.
Very nice colours there.

You know now there's no turning back once you've shot a bird.

Thanks Andrew, as for bird's I've decided duck's don't count
