Our take on the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens

The Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III is a budget telephoto zoom for Canon EF-mount DSLRs. It covers a long reach in a light 16.8 oz body, with a 4.9-foot minimum focus distance across the zoom. On APS-C bodies it behaves like a 120-480mm lens. At $129 at eBay as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent price range, which is typical for this entry-level lens.

About the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens

The EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Lens from Canon is a telephoto zoom lens ideal for day-to-day use because it is particularly light and compact, especially given its long focal reach.

Its minimum focus distance is 4.9', even at the telephoto end of its zoom. Versatile telephoto focal range ideal for portraiture and magnifying distant subjects. When used on an APS-C format camera the equivalent focal length range is 120-480mm. 4.9' minimum focus distance throughout the zoom range.Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom LensZoom lens is all about versatility, creativity, sharpness, speed, fast focusing, compactness, and fun.

Yes if you want a cheap, light telephoto for daylight shooting. Skip it if you need sharp long-end images or shoot in low light.
Does it fit my camera?
It fits Canon EF-mount DSLRs, full-frame and APS-C. It does not fit Canon RF mirrorless bodies without an EF-to-R adapter.

The lens and front and rear caps. A hood and case are not included.
