Canon RF75-300mm F4-5.6

The RF75-300mm F4-5.6 brings approachability to zoom shooting. An impressive zoom range of 75-300mm (35mm equivalent approx. 120-480mm with an APS-C camera) allows you to bring your subject close when you can’t get closer to them, like when watching sports or photographing wildlife. The lens itself is portable and lightweight for a zoom lens of this range making it easy to bring with you on your adventures. For a professional look to your images, nothing matches the compression and bokeh you get from a long zoom lens.

Product Feature

Compact, Lightweight, and Portable

The features that make this lens approachable are hiding right in plain sight. Carrying a lens capable of reaching 300mm usually means a big, heavy lens that is not easy to always have with you, but through our years of expertise with lenses, we have been able to produce a compact, lightweight, and portable option about the weight of a 500ml water bottle that won’t break the bank.

All The Angles

The RF75-300mm F4-5.6 has an impressive range of focal lengths to choose from which can dramatically change the feel of your photo.

Like a Pro

When you want your images to look more professional, there are a few easy steps you can take to get started. The first is to get a lens that will allow you to get closer to your subject. The next “pro” look for your images is to add bokeh which makes the background blurry while your subject is in focus which makes it stand out, and this is easily achievable with a long zoom lens. The final element you can add to your photos to make them look more professional is called compression, which is when things that are physically far apart appear closer when lined up in the lens. Any one of these effects will instantly make your image look more professional, and this lens provides all three!

Focus on the Eyes

Eye detection is achievable even at the 300mm zoom range with Servo AF during still image shooting and Movie Servo AF for videos, automatically focusing on subjects’ pupils, even when their faces or bodies are moving.
