Unleash your creative potential and bring distant subjects closer with the new Canon RF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens. Designed specifically for Canon’s innovative RF mount, this telephoto zoom lens offers a versatile focal length range, making it an excellent choice for capturing wildlife, sports, and candid portraits without the added bulk. Its lightweight and compact design makes it an ideal travel companion, allowing you to explore new perspectives with ease.
Versatile Telephoto Zoom Range:
The 75-300mm focal length range provides significant reach, allowing you to zoom in on subjects that are physically far away. Capture the action from the sidelines of a sports event, photograph wildlife in their natural habitat without disturbing them, or isolate your portrait subjects from their backgrounds with pleasing compression. This flexibility empowers you to frame your shots precisely as you envision them.
Lightweight and Compact Design:
Weighing in at approximately 507g and with a retracted length of just 146.1mm, the RF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 is remarkably portable for a lens with this telephoto reach. This makes it comfortable to carry for extended periods, whether you’re on a day trip or a longer adventure, ensuring you’re always ready to capture those distant moments.
Excellent Image Quality with Super Spectra Coating:
Canon’s renowned Super Spectra coating has been applied to the lens elements to minimize ghosting and flare. This multi-layered coating helps to ensure accurate color balance, enhance contrast, and deliver crisp, clear images even when shooting in challenging lighting conditions.
Smooth Background Blur with a 7-Blade Aperture:
The lens features a 7-blade circular aperture, which contributes to a beautiful and natural-looking bokeh (background blur). This allows you to create a pleasing separation between your subject and the background, drawing the viewer’s eye to the main point of interest in your image, particularly effective for portraits and wildlife photography.
Close Focusing Capability:
With a minimum focusing distance of 1.5 meters at the 300mm end, the RF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 allows you to get surprisingly close to your subjects for detailed close-up shots. This versatility expands your creative possibilities, enabling you to capture intricate details of flora, fauna, or even portraits with a tighter perspective.
Responsive Autofocus:
The lens is equipped with a DC autofocus motor, providing reliable and accurate autofocus performance for both stills and video. When paired with Canon’s EOS R System cameras and their Dual Pixel CMOS AF, you can expect fast and precise subject acquisition and tracking, ensuring your subjects remain sharp even when they are in motion.
Designed for the Canon RF Mount:
As a native RF mount lens, the 75-300mm f/4-5.6 is fully compatible with all Canon EOS R series cameras, from full-frame to APS-C models. When used with an APS-C sensor camera, the effective focal length is extended to 120-480mm, providing even greater reach for distant subjects.
User-Friendly Operation:
The lens features a large zoom ring with a short rotation, allowing for quick and easy adjustment of the focal length. A dedicated focus mode switch lets you seamlessly toggle between autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF) for precise control when needed. The 58mm filter thread allows for the use of standard filters to further enhance your creativity.
