Hi, I just got a Canon EOS 1100D AKA Rebel T3 (it came with 18x55mm lens) as my first DSLR. Now what lens should I buy for it? Is 75x300mm 3rd gen good enough for budget and experience?

Is that lens good enough for travel / landscape / zoom and night photography ?

Thanks

Already a thread re the 75-300 III in the lens forum. Summarizing: NO. For your camera, the preferred telezoom is the EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6 IS STM. or the mk I or II for a little less.
