## Description

Product Description Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras. From the Manufacturer Capture the far-off action of fast-paced sports or zoom in for an intimate portrait with the Canon EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens. The optical system, construction, and exterior are the same as the EF 75-300 mm f/4-5.6 III USM’s. The difference is that it uses a DC motor instead of a USM to drive the AF. As with all Canon lens, this 75-300 model carries a one-year warranty.Focal length: 75-300mm Maximum aperture: 1:4-5.6 Lens construction: 13 elements in 9 groups Diagonal angle of view: 32 (at 11 feet) to 8 degrees (at 15 feet) Closest focusing distance: 4.9 feet Zoom system: Rotating type Filter size: 58mm Dimensions: 2.8 inches in diameter, 4.8 inches long Weight: 16.8 ounces The most affordable of Canonís long telephoto zooms, this lens is excellent for subjects from portraits to wildlife and nature. It shares the same 13-element optical system as the 75-300mm USM lens, but uses a DC motor for autofocus. Close-focusing down to 4.9 feet (1.5m) allows filling the frame (at 300mm) with a subject the size of a dollar bill, and itís compatible with the Canon 58mm Close-up lens 500D for even more spectacular shots of small objects. Isolate the Interesting Part The eye tends to see the whole rather than the individual parts. It also sees whatís near and not whatís far. By bringing attention to those things missed by the eye, you can create many interesting pictures. It could be the grimace of an athlete, the grill of a classic car, or a girl against a blurred background. Telephoto lenses can also compress images to give dramatic effects. You are limited only by your imagination.

Review: Great lens for the money! - I Just bought this lens a week ago, and so far, I have been very happy with it. No, it is not a high end pro lenses, but for the money, I believe it does a very nice job, even at 300mm. I photographed a Grey squirrel yesterday, at the 300mm range. 1/125th at F11
Review: Value - First off I'm going to say that I bought this lens used for $100. I read plenty of reviews and most of them talked about how the amount of sharpness gets really low when you get around 300mm. This is true. From my testing, 75-200mm seems to be the sweet spots for this lens. I shot a few pictures out in the woods at 75mm f/4 of my Dad and the bokeh was pretty awesome. I also shot some pictures of birds at 300mm and it's just very unsharp the second you crop. The only way I've found to get good bird shots is to be really close to them. This is very difficult unless you're at a popular park where the birds are fairly used to humans. Here is a picture I took at 300mm and is only very slightly cropped [...] I was only a few feet from this bird. As you can see it's a sharp image due to VERY minimal cropping. It is difficult to fill the frame with these little birds let alone get close to them. Here is another bird at the same exact place [...] This was shot at 155mm, it was at Clingman's Dome in Gatlinburg which is a very popular place which makes these birds fairly used to humans. I put down some nuts right next to myself and it walked right up and took them and that's how I got this picture. Pros and Cons Pros: Takes great portraits at 75mm Very inexpensive for what it is Fairly well built for the price Cons: You lose almost all sharpness once you crop above 250mm The zooming is not very smooth Overall, who would I recommend this to? I would recommend this to any beginner photographer who wants to take pictures of their family or friends that may also enjoying wildlife photography. This would also be a great lens for someone who doesn't really care much about photography but wants a nice zoom lens to sit on their porch and take pictures of wildlife from far away (birds, deer, etc) TL;DR: Overall great value, absolutely worth the buy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this fit the EOS Rebel XSi?**
A: It will; your Rebel can use all EF and EF-S lenses.  However, I think you will be better off avoiding this lens and going for the EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM instead.  It is a little more expensive (about 100 bucks), but is a FAR better lens.  The only thing the 75-300mm has over it is the 50mm of extra reach.  The 55-250mm has IS, better image quality, faster and smoother focus, sharper at all zoom ranges, and a few other minor advantages like rear element focusing (front of lens doesn't rotate).  Best of all, it will fit your Rebel!  And while the 75-300mm is considered the worst lens in the Canon lineup, the 55-250mm is considered the best telephoto for under a grand.Hope that helped!OK, I jsut saw right before posting my answer that your question is from 2014.  Sorry it took so long to get you an answer.  :)

**Q: Is "Bulk Packaging" means brand new lens?**
A: Not sure .... when I ordered mine, it appeared to be new (or otherwise it was cleaned-up and well packaged). I would assume that bulk packaging just means that it comes with the standard cardboard and bubble-wrap ... in a box, which in most cases will get it delivered without any breakage.  My lens (and package) arrived in very good condition.

**Q: Will this fit an sx50?**
A: Will this fit canon 3ti

**Q: Is this lens compatible with the Canon 1100D/T3i**
A: It is; your camera can use all EF and EF-S lenses.  However, I think you will be better off avoiding this lens and going for the EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM instead.  It is a little more expensive (300 USD), but is a FAR better lens.  The only thing the 75-300mm has over it is the 50mm of extra reach.  The 55-250mm has IS, better image quality, faster and smoother focus, sharper at all zoom ranges, and a few other minor advantages like rear element focusing (front of lens doesn't rotate).  Best of all, it will fit your camera!  And while the 75-300mm is considered the worst lens in the Canon lineup, the 55-250mm is considered the best telephoto for under a grand.

If the IS STM is a little too expensive, then the older model, the IS II is still a decent lens as well, for a little more than the 75-300mm.  If you want some more info, I have a review for that lens on my profile.

Hope that helped!
