Overview

The Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III is a versatile telephoto zoom lens that covers a broad focal range suitable for sports, wildlife, portraits, and event photography. At just 16.8 ounces and measuring 2.8 inches in diameter by 4.8 inches in length, it is one of Canon's most portable telephoto options. The lens features Super Spectra coating to minimize flare and ghosting, and its improved zoom mechanism provides smoother operation compared to earlier versions of this lens.

This renewed version offers the same optical performance as a new unit at a reduced price point, making it an accessible entry into telephoto photography for beginners and budget-conscious shooters. The DC autofocus motor provides reliable focusing, though it is not as fast or quiet as Canon's USM-equipped lenses. With a minimum focus distance of 4.9 feet and a maximum aperture that narrows to f/5.6 at the long end, this lens performs best in well-lit outdoor conditions where its reach and light weight can be fully appreciated.
