EF lenses on the M10

I'm considering buying an EF 75-300mm f4.0 lens with an EF-EFM adapter to use on my EOS M10. Is this advisable? Are there any considerations I should be aware of? Thanks.

I would go with the 55-250mm STM Lens.  It’s a much better performer.

Re: EF lenses on the M10

From reading the only good 75-300 lens is the IS or ISii models.  The rest are cheap and will not give good results.  You are better off shooting at 200or 150mm and cropping than using that lens.  I see them on my local Kijiji from realistic people for like $60 or so, and dreamers for $300 for the non -IS versions.

Not really worth the money IMO.

There are 70-300 USM IS lenses that are better, but they cost more.

The STM zoom lenses are much better optically and dont cost a lot. not quite as long but IQ is much improved. plus they are designed for these cameras so work well.
