Entry-level RF telezoom breaks cover
Posted on May 12, 2025 by Adam Duckworth
An affordable, long-range zoom is a lightweight addition to Canon’s RF lens range.
Canon’s new RF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 is a lightweight, easy-to-use telephoto zoom lens that’s ideal for nature and sports work, especially in decent light.
The lens has a large zoom ring requiring little more than a quarter of a turn to run through the entire zoom range, aiding fast crops on animals.
At 300mm it’s possible to get as close as 1.5m to fill the frame with detail. The long zoom and wide, seven-blade aperture ensure superb separation between a sharp subject and blurred background.

This classic entry-level, full-frame 75-300mm lens can be used on any RF mount camera but paired with an APS-C body such as the EOS R100, it delivers a 120-480mm effective range.
The lens weighs 507g and is a compact 146.1mm in length when retracted. It’s one of the lightest lenses in its class and has Super Spectra coating to reduce ghosting and flare.
