Capture the far-off action of fast-paced sports or zoom in for an intimate portrait with the Canon EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens. The optical system construction and exterior are the same as the EF 75-300 mm f/4-5.6 III USMs. The difference is that it uses a DC motor instead of a USM to drive the AF. The most affordable of Canon’s long telephoto zooms this lens is excellent for subjects from portraits to wildlife and nature. It shares the same 13-element optical system as the 75-300mm USM lens but uses a DC motor for autofocus. Close-focusing down to 4.9 feet 1.5m allows filling the frame at 300mm with a subject the size of a dollar bill and its compatible with the Canon 58mm Close-up lens 500D for even more spectacular shots of small objects. This lens isolates the interesting part. The eye tends to see the whole rather than the individual parts. It also sees whats near and not whats far. By bringing attention to those things missed by the eye you can create many interesting pictures. It could be the grimace of an athlete the grill of a classic car or a girl against a blurred background. Telephoto lenses can also compress images to give dramatic effects. You are limited only by your imagination.
