“A Must-Have Telephoto Lens: Outstanding Quality f
The Canon EF-S 55–250mm has been one of the most impressive and budget-friendly telephoto lenses I’ve used. Despite its lightweight and compact build, it delivers excellent image quality—photos come out sharp, with pleasing color and contrast. The STM autofocus is fast, smooth, and nearly silent, making it a great choice for both photography and video.

Great lens
I love this lens! For those who are looking for telephoto lens, the EF-S 55-250 is an excellent choice. The motors are quiet which is really great when recording video. During the lockdown, I bought this (they even brought it to the car for contactless delivery) to have. As soon as I put it on my Canon 77D I was amazed. Its very comfortable and well balanced when attached to the camera. I even took some great close up pics of the flowers while on our walks.

My favorite lens
I use this lens most out of the three I own. I love and use it because I'm able to get great shots of my kids playing sports while they are far away from where I'm sitting. Before the pictures I took were of figures in the distance that weren't easily recognizable. I would ask parents with better cameras if they could send me the great shot they got of one of my children. Now I'm the parent with the great pictures of the kids facial expressions when kicking the ball at 25 feet away. It's also not too heavy, although it obviously weighs more than say a 50mm lens.

Great for capturing the wildlife in my backyard from a safe distance! I am very happy with this lens and super impressed with the level of detail I can capture from such a far distance.

Canon - RF75-300mm F4-5.6mm Telephoto Zoom Lens for EOS R-Series Cameras - Black

4.5(31)

The Canon RF75-300mm F4.5-6 brings approachability to zoom shooting. An impressive zoom range of 75-300mm (approx. 120-480mm with an APS-C camera) allows you to bring your subject close when you physically can’t get closer to them, like when watching sports or photographing wildlife. The lens itself is portable and lightweight for a zoom lens of this range making it easy to bring with you on your outings. For a professional look to your images, nothing matches the compression and bokeh you get from a long zoom lens.

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

Not Yet Reviewed

The EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Lens from Canon is a telephoto zoom lens ideal for day-to-day use because it is particularly light and compact, especially given its long focal reach. Able to magnify distant subjects, it also compresses the space between subjects within the frame and with a shallow depth of field at its longer lengths, it offers attractive out of focus bokeh. Its minimum focus distance is 4.9', even at the telephoto end of its zoom.
