Hi,
I am looking at buying a better quality zoom for my Canon 60D.
I am looking at the Canon Lens EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM
The question is can I use an 'L' lens on a crop sensor camera?
What are the issues when doing this?
What is the forum's opinion of the Canon Lens EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM?

Thanks for all of the good advice.
I will try some of the breathing techniques and increase the iso and shutter speed.

Scooting around the pond in the local park.
A really beautiful model.
All comments welcome.

Hi English Brenda,
I had set the camera to use only the central focal point. The software just shows the other points though they were not engaged.

Thanks for the responses.
The lens autofocus was on. Yes the bird was quite a distance - any closer they fly away. The sky was cloudy.
Regarding the DOF - the focus point was on the bird and I was quite far from it so I would expect the the DOF would be enough to cover the whole bird but as you say nothing is in focus.
The lens is about 11 years old. It came as a kit lens with my Canon 350d. It has never been serviced but the lens glass is kept clean.
What does 5PM mean?
re firmware: I will research how to update this.

I was hand holding but I thought that the increased shutter speed (1/640) would address this.
I guess not.

Hi, A week or so ago I posted a picture and asked why it was not sharp. I received a fantastic response from hoggers with mountains of good advice and suggestions.
I tried to heed the advice and took the camera out again.
I increased the iso and shutter speed. I took a series of shots working hard to hit the bird with the central focus point.
The result is posted and as you can see it is still not great.
The second image is a screen capture showing the camera settings and the focus point.
Any further advice would be appreciated.

Wow, so many thoughtful and knowledgeable responses.
Hoggers are such a great group.

Thanks for all the great advice.
I will try to increase the speed and change the f stop by increasing the ISO.
A tripod is a bit tricky because they don't sit still for very long at all.

I forgot to mention that I had the auto focus point set on the single centre point.

Hi,
I took this photo with my Canon 60D using the Canon EF 75-300 (this is the kit lens I got with my Canon 350D).
The settings were 1/400 sec at f5.6 with 300mm zoom and ISO 100
Auto focus was on. The lens does not have inbuilt stabilisation.
To me the shot does not look sharp.
Is it me? My eye? My technique? Is it the lens?
I also use a Canon EFS 18-135mm. I feel that this lens produces a sharper image.
Should I look at upgrading the lens?

Hi,
Thanks for the comment.
When you say 'the horizons need attention' are you referring to them not being level or is there something else?
