Canon RF 75-300mm F4-5.6
The constant f/4 aperture across its 75-300mm zoom range provides consistent exposure control, though its 3175g weight demands robust support. Its EF mount compatibility offers a straightforward entry point for Canon DSLR users seeking telephoto reach at a low cost. This lens is best for budget-conscious beginners practicing outdoor portraits or daylight sports where its lack of stabilization is manageable.
