From what I've read and heard on this forum and elsewhere, I would not recommend the Canon 75-300mm lens.

Someone tried to give me one last year, just out of curiosity, I tried it. It is universally awful.

The STM version of this lens is very good.

Some nice images from the 70-300 STM here: https://www.flickr.com/groups/3029340@N25/pool/with/52444758702/

I was referring to the 75-300, not the 70-300II which is the NanoUSM version.  That is the one referred to in the Dustin Abbott link.  I have never seen a 70-300 STM, maybe Canon made one long ago?
