## Description

From the manufacturer Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM One of the smallest and lightest telephoto zoom lenses in its class, the EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM is ideal for photographers who are working to a budget. Great for sports, nature and portraits. Affordable telephoto zoom lens. USM autofocus motor. Super Spectra coatings. Lightweight design. 58mm filter size. 1.5m closest focusing distance. Detailed Features Lightweight telephoto zoom with USM The lightest 4x telephoto zoom lens in its class. Ideal for photographing sports, portraiture, wildlife etc. The lens' telephoto effect compresses perspective and restricts depth of field, effectively blurring backgrounds. At the 300mm focal length it is possbile to fill the frame with a postcard from a distance of 1.5 metres. Fully Electronic Lens Mount An integrated AF motor provides fast autofocusing performance. The lens' electromagnetic diaphragm ensures incredibly accurate control over aperture positioning. Super Spectra coating Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting – a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.

Review: Great budget starter lens for the amatuer/hobbyist - I bought this lens about eight months ago for my Canon 350D. If like me you bought the kit that comes bundled with the 18-55mm lens you'll notice there is a big gap when it comes to zoom/telephoto shots, this is a great budget tele-photo zoom lens that does what it says on the tin, and fills the gap nicely. I am an amateur photographer at best and still learning, but after using the lens for a while I was disappointed to learn that the f stop values really do make a big difference - the widest aperture you will be able to set this lens to is 4.0 at 75mm and only 5.6 at 300mm, if your really serious you need a fast lens like f/2.8, and definitely with IS (image stabilisation) - the lens is not that heavy (for me), but during a long shoot it starts to feel like a cannon (pardon the pun), the lens really protrudes out at towards the 300mm end, and if you hold the camera pointing straight down, expect lens creep. Add an external flash onto the hot shoe and expect a real workout! My wife complains its way too heavy - especially with a speedlite mounted on top, just carry a tripod if you expect to be on a long shoot, or mount the external flash on a tripod (you'll need something like a speedlite wireless remote for this, expensive, but its tiny and weighs next to nothing and gets the speedlite off the camera). Having said all that, I have got some really great shots with this, and overall for the price you pay for this lens it's a real good value for money. If I'm going to a function, like a party within a hall, I would almost always use this lens (not to good for mid range shots - 50mm better for this, which is why I carry another camera to save swapping lenses about), great for candid photography where you can position yourself at the other side of the hall and take shots without distracting or letting your subjects know they are being shot - just have a strong arm, and good light conditions/flash. For portrait shots, and shots where you slow the shutter speed use a tripod, or you get too much blur/softness. If you also intend to pan the shot, a tripod with a panning handle is also essential. The other thing you need to bear in mind is the multiplication factor (of the focal length) of your camera. Unless your lucky enough to have a camera with the same focal length as a 35mm film camera, i.e. a full 35mm frame size, the camera may effectively crop the image to fit on the film sensor - the 350D has a factor of x1.6, this means this lens is effectively a 120mm - 480mm lens (!) This is great on the tele-photo side, you get more magnification than you pay for, but not so good for wide angle or down at the 75mm end, where you've actually got 120mm. (Because of this factor, if you want a wide-angle lens and you have a 350/400D then you'd be better off going for ultra wide 14mm). Bottom line, it's a heavy lens, and no IS, but for the price of the lens very good value for money! I haven't regretted buying this, and unless you're a really serious photographer, and shoot within the limits of this lens you wont either.
Review: Almost as Good as a Tokina 80-400mm Lens! - I bought my Canon EF 75-300mm f4.0-5.6 III lens from an desertcart seller late last year. Used it on my Canon 1000D to take many photos of just about everything. It is surprisingly good. Yes it does "hunt" for focus in poor light (but so my much more expensive Tokina 400mm lens!). The lens isn't image stabilised (neither is the Tokina). My example has a nice smooth zooming action, and manual/auto focus. There is no focus lock on the barrel, so the lens does tend to "creep" open to it's full extent when being carried. It is a nice lightweight lens. I can carry the Canon all day with this lens fitted and hardly notice it. Photos with the Canon lens are crisp, with great colour rendition. I have not noticed any chromatic abberations yet. I find it takes clearest photos when at f8 to f16 range. (in otherwords, in summertime!). I will try and post some examples with this review. For the money, it is great value - and being a Canon lens, it is of good quality. Regards, Phil Edwards. North Wales.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it fit onto my Canon EOS1000D ?**
A: Yes fits perfectly.  Although it will give you slightly more magnification and slightly less wide angle as it's made for a full frame camera.

**Q: Hi all, is this compatible with the Canon EOS 400D ?**
A: Yes.  The EOS400D will take both EF and EFS lenses.  EFS lenses are optimised for APS C type sensors like the 400D, but at the time of writing the best telephoto on EFS is the EFS 55-250mm, so this EF is a good choice (on your 400D, with your crop factor, you would effectively get 120 - 480mm).  There is an IS version of the EF 75-300mm lens, but this is three times the price too.  I bought the lens on this page for a 300D, never regretted it.

**Q: I have the kit lens and a 50mm portrait lens for my 400D, what would this lens be useful for please? Thanks**
A: I would probably recommend the 300mm lens with the image stabiliser, it's a bit more expensive but some long range shots in low light benefits from the IS

**Q: Is this compatible with the canon eos 1300d?**
A: Dus it fit the 1300D

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value Telephoto Lens for Beginners
*by K***D on 8 September 2025*

The Canon EF 75–300mm is a good budget-friendly option if you want to try out telephoto photography without spending too much. It covers a wide range and delivers decent image quality, especially outdoors in good lighting conditions. I’ve managed to capture some nice wildlife and sports shots with it. Autofocus isn’t the fastest and can be a bit noisy, but for the price point, it’s acceptable. The build is lightweight, which makes it easy to carry, though it doesn’t feel as solid as more expensive lenses. Overall, it’s not a professional lens, but it works well for hobby use and offers great value for money. 👉 Bottom line: Affordable, versatile, and reliable enough for everyday photography — a nice starter telephoto lens.
