It`s a 75mm to 300mm lens , My children bought a Canon camera plus this lens about 2years ago but I have only used it a couple of times due to it`s size preferring to use my Lumix compact which I can attach to my belt,when I on my meanderings.
Theyhave since bought me a 50mm lens for it.
I have just found out, 300mm on a digital is the same as 487mm on a 35mm camera,and 50mm digital is 82mm on a 35mm camera.
