Canon has unveiled its new RF 75-300mm F4-5.6 telephoto lens designed for its mirrorless camera system. If this lens seems familiar, it’s because Canon previously offered a similar model with an EF mount. This new RF version offers the same extensive zoom range and is targeted at beginners who are venturing into wildlife and sports photography with EOS R System cameras. However, many budget-friendly Canon mirrorless options lack in-body image stabilization (IBIS), and the RF 75-300mm lens also does not include optical stabilization, which might pose some challenges.
That said, the pricing reflects these features. The Canon RF 75-300mm F4-5.6 is available for preorder at a reasonable £289, making this lightweight lens, weighing just 507g, a truly economical choice. For those on a tight budget looking to capture wildlife and sports, the attractiveness of this lens is clear, but remember that the low price does come with certain trade-offs.
The Canon RF 75-300mm F4-5.6 is set to hit the market by the end of May 2025.
