Canon introduces the new RF 75-300mm F4-5.6, a compact, lightweight, and affordable telephoto zoom lens for photographers who want to start capturing sports, wildlife, or nature from a distance. Designed for Canon EOS R System cameras, it brings distant subjects closer without requiring the photographer to move.
The broad 75-300mm zoom range makes it easy to move from a wide view to a close-up. Whether you are photographing birds without disturbing them or capturing your child from the sidelines at a soccer game, this lens can cover the action. Its large zoom ring needs only a quarter turn to travel through the full zoom range.
The lens also performs well at close range: at the 300mm setting, it can focus from 1.5 meters, making it easy to capture fine detail—ideal for portraits of people and animals.
The powerful zoom and seven-blade aperture provide excellent separation between a sharp subject and a softly blurred background.
This classic entry-level full-frame 75-300mm lens works with any Canon RF-mount camera. Paired with an APS-C body such as the EOS R100, it provides an even more powerful effective range of 120-480mm, bringing distant subjects closer.
At only 507 grams and 146.1 mm long, it fits easily into a camera bag wherever you go.
