The affordable telephoto zoom lens is suitable for a variety of photography styles. Thanks to its lightweight and compact design, it can be taken anywhere – ideal for travel, where its long telephoto range brings distant subjects closer, and its shorter focal length also produces good portrait shots. The easy-to-use zoom lens EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III features a built-in autofocus motor for fast AF performance and an electromagnetic diaphragm for precise aperture control.

For just 270 euros, Canon delivers a solid telephoto zoom, which, however, has to do without a stabiliser. Nevertheless, the value for money is pleasing, as the EF 4.5-5.6/70-300 mm DO IS USM, a competitor from Canon with similar specifications, is clearly outperformed. But the EF 4-5.6/75-300 mm III USM's optical performance also decreases with focal length...
The Canon EF 4-5.6/75-300 mm III was tested and found to be particularly impressive with its high imaging performance and fast autofocus. Surprisingly, the 4x zoom is also designed for full-frame cameras despite its very affordable price. The lack of an image stabiliser is therefore forgiven.
