Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III 75-300mm

The constant f/4 aperture across the 75-300mm zoom range provides consistent exposure control, though the 2268g weight and lack of stabilization demand a tripod for sharp results. Its DC autofocus motor and 4.9-foot minimum focus distance make it a straightforward, no-frills telephoto option often bundled at aggressive price points. This lens is best for budget-conscious beginners needing reach for outdoor daylight portraits or distant subjects, where its optical compromises are less noticeable.
