The EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III zoom lens covers many commonly used telephoto focal lengths and delivers great quality images. The lens is an affordable, compact partner for any EOS camera.

Overview

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.

Lightweight telephoto zoom
This 4x telephoto zoom lens is ideal for the budget-conscious photographer with an interest in shooting sports, wildlife or portraiture. In common with other telephoto lenses, the EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III compresses perspective and allows the photographer to restrict depth of field.

Fully Electronic Lens Mount
An integrated AF motor provides fast autofocusing performance. The lens' electromagnetic diaphragm ensures incredibly accurate control over aperture positioning.

Super Spectra coating*
Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting – a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.

* Super Spectra Coating - technology details
When light enters a lens, a small percentage is reflected off the internal lens element surfaces. This reflected light, if not dealt with effectively, can result in distortion of the recorded image.

There are two common types of image distortions: Ghosting, in which a faint second image appears on the photo; and flare, which occurs when light from the back of the lens barrel is reflected onto the image.

Light travels in waves – since each colour travels at different wavelengths, multi layers coatings are required to effectively reduce reflection. Each layer works on different wave lengths of light. Canon's multi layer Super Spectra coating allows up to 99.9% of light through to the CMOS sensor, over a range that extends from ultra violet to near-infrared light. As well as minimising ghosting and flare, Super Spectra Coating ensures a consistent colour balance across all EF lenses and plays a key part in delivering the sharp, high-contrast results that Canon lenses are renowned for.
