I think not! This lens is affordable, compact, takes good quality photos, and creates a beautiful bokeh if the conditions are right. It has nice contrast and its focal length is very capable.
But, there are some "not so good" qualities about this lens. If there is any sun, every picture taken has a purple and green line around everything. Not so good. Also, the focus ring doesn't have the range of focus I like; not specific enough, but all in all, it has great value if you're looking for an affordable, smallish, hobby lens. For me, it has worked brilliantly. Even though in the next year I would like to upgrade, this lens has done fantastic. Really, it has; here are some of my best shots with the Canon 75-300 lens :
