Canon has announced the launch of the RF 75-300mm F4-5.6, a lightweight telephoto zoom lens designed for EOS R System cameras. The lens is aimed at beginners exploring nature and sports photography.
The RF 75-300mm F4-5.6 offers an impressive zoom range and creative flexibility for both photography and video. It allows users to capture distant subjects without disturbing them, making it ideal for wildlife and sideline sports shooting.
Canon revealed that the lens features a large zoom ring requiring just a quarter turn to cover the full zoom range. At 300mm, it can focus as close as 1.5 meters, enabling detailed, frame-filling shots of animals and people. The seven-blade circular aperture helps create a blurred background that highlights the subject.
Despite its long reach, the lens weighs only 507g and retracts to a compact 146.1mm, making it one of the lightest in its category. It supports Canon's advanced RF mount and can be used with both full-frame and APS-C bodies.
When paired with an APS-C camera like the EOS R100, the effective zoom range extends to 120-480mm. Canon reported that this makes the lens suitable for everything from local sports to remote nature scenes.
Key features include:
75-300mm focal range for full-frame, 120-480mm on APS-C
1.5m minimum focusing distance at 300mm
Lightweight build and Super Spectra coating for reduced flare
Canon highlighted that the RF 75-300mm F4-5.6 balances performance, portability, and affordability. It provides new photographers with the tools to extend their creative reach.
