The Canon RF 75–300mm f/4–5.6 is a lightweight, entry-level telephoto zoom designed for wildlife, sports and portrait photography. Built for EOS R System cameras, this compact RF-mount lens gives beginners an easy and affordable way to explore long-range photography while staying portable and easy to handle.

With its 75–300mm zoom range, you can frame distant subjects clearly — whether you’re shooting sports from the sidelines, wildlife in nature, or candid portraits from a comfortable distance.

Big reach in a compact design

This versatile telephoto lens lets you pull distant subjects right into the frame, making it ideal for wildlife, sports and outdoor photography. The long zoom range allows you to isolate your subject for stronger visual impact, while still giving you the flexibility to zoom out and include more of the scene when needed.

The lens also focuses as close as 1.5 metres, making it suitable for frame-filling portraits of people and animals.

Optimised for EOS R cameras

Designed for RF-mount EOS R System cameras, this lens is fully compatible across the range. When used on APS-C cameras such as the EOS R100, the cropped sensor delivers an even greater apparent reach of 120–480mm, helping you fill the frame from even further away — perfect for wildlife and sports photography.

Beautiful subject separation

Using the telephoto zoom range and widest aperture, you can create strong subject-to-background separation for a professional look. The seven-blade aperture produces smooth background blur, helping your subject stand out clearly from its surroundings.

The lens’s autofocus motor works to reliably and accurately maintain sharp focus, keeping your subject clear and detailed.

Lightweight and ready to travel

Weighing approximately 507g, this is one of the lightest lenses in its class, making it ideal for sports days, travel and family adventures. The compact build is designed to be carried easily, and the large zoom ring lets you move through the full zoom range with just a quarter-turn, making framing quick and intuitive.

A 58mm filter thread allows you to expand your creative options with compatible filters.

Optical performance

The lens features Super Spectra coatings, which help deliver optimum colour and contrast across the zoom range. This ensures images maintain clarity and visual impact, even when shooting in challenging lighting conditions.

*For cameras with an APS-C sized sensor, a crop factor applies giving an equivalent focal length of 1.6x – this means that the 75-300mm on an APS-C camera will give the field of view equivalent to a 112-320mm lens on a Full Frame camera. Check camera user manual for further details.
