Sometimes you can find this lens with the 18-55mm kit in one box (not as common, but they exist, usually at Costco or Best Buy).
The 75-300mm zoom lens is a decent lens when shooting outdoors with plenty of light (Aperture is limited to f 4.0-5.6). It will struggle in low light.
While there are a couple other lenses cheaper than this version, I appreciate the USM (Ultra Sonic Motor) and recommend investing the extra $50 for it.
Great starter lens for shooting sports and nature.
