The Canon 72-210mm f/4 lens is a budget option for telephoto work, but it lacks image stabilization, has poor autofocus, and produces weak picture quality on both full-frame and APS-C cameras. The lens also suffers from significant vignetting, distortion, and lacks sharpness, especially at wider apertures.
